The Flores Lantern from Jan Kurtz is made out of old rice vessels. Each lantern is therefore a unicum and absolutely singular regarding its colour and shape. The German manufacturer Jan Kurtz imports the ancient eating bowls out of Southeast Asia and fills them with wax and a special wick.

The rustic look from Flores is problem-free integrated in modern or natural furnishings in the garden, on the terrace or the balcony. The soft light is in perfect harmony with the warm wood and spreads a comfortable atmosphere. Through the special wick, the Flores’ flame also resists wind blows.

The wick from Flores is especially thick. That makes the lantern ideally suitable for outdoor areas. To extinguish the flame one should use a candle extinguisher. If the flame is expired, put the wick back into the wax to keep it protected. The Flores lantern has a burning time of about 60 hours.

Each Flores lantern consists of hardwood like teak wood. Teak wood is ideally suitable for the usage outside. Because the high content of natural oils makes the wood especially weatherproof. With the silver grey patina that develops along the time, the wood forms an own protection.

With the hardwood, the special wax and the thick wick, Flores from Jan Kurtz has been designed especially for outside areas. You should not at all use it inside.
