Lighting as an art form: the Bocci 28 series in interior design.
Sometimes, a lamp is more than just a source of light. Sometimes, it is an experience; a sculptural object that imbues a space with meaning and emotion. The Bocci 28 series is just that. Designed by Canadian designer Omer Arbel for the Bocci design label, this collection strikes a balance between technology, craftsmanship and poetry.
Each 28 lamp is the result of an experimental glassblowing process involving air, heat and gravity. This process ensures that no two spheres are exactly the same, with small imperfections, air bubbles and variations in colour making each piece unique. At the heart of each sphere sits a smaller opal glass capsule that diffuses light softly and diffusely. The result is a warm, mysterious and vibrant light, reminiscent of the soft glow of a lantern underwater.
A timeless accent for any interior!
The strength of the 28 Series lies in its versatility. The lamp is available as a single pendant or as an impressive cluster, ranging from a compact trio to installations of a hundred bulbs or more. This makes the series ideal for a wide variety of settings, ranging from modern city apartments and monumental mansions to commercial spaces such as boutique hotels and high-end offices.
In an open atrium, for example, it can be used to create an almost weightless light installation, with the glass bulbs appearing to float at different heights. In a kitchen or above a dining room table, a few carefully chosen pendants can create a more intimate atmosphere. The organic shapes offset clean lines, bringing softness and tension to a space without ever appearing busy.
Experiment with colour, rhythm and space!
The 28 Series offers a wide range of colours, including clear glass, soft neutral tones, deep amber, smoky grey and cobalt blue. You can also create custom combinations, allowing you to adapt the fixture to any interior vision. A cluster of warm earth tones fits perfectly into a natural, Japandi-inspired interior, while a monochrome arrangement of clear glass bulbs brings tranquillity to a minimalist space.
As the bulbs are hung individually, they create a rhythmic interplay in the space. The lamp interacts with the space in which it hangs, guiding the eye upwards in high ceilings while simultaneously forming a soft boundary in open spaces. The visual impact is subtle yet unmistakable.
A tribute to craftsmanship!
The Bocci 28 series is truly special thanks to its tangible craftsmanship. Each lamp is hand-blown in Bocci's own glass studio, ensuring that no two are identical. This process brings Arbel's design philosophy, which embraces chance and imperfection, to life.
In a world of interior design that often revolves around sleekness and repetition, the 28 series offers something different: a sense of movement, authenticity and wonder. It is an ode to craftsmanship and material that speaks, offering lighting that not only illuminates, but touches too.
The Bocci 28 series is not a lamp you choose to fit. It's a lamp you choose to surprise.
It's for those who dare to dream in glass and light.
