Manufactured by: Bocci
The 28.7c copper suspension light is produced by an innovative fabrication process that manipulates both the temperature and the direction of air flow into blown glass. The result is a slightly distorted sphere with an interior landscape of satellite shapes, including an opaque milk glass diffuser that houses either a 20 watt Xenon (dimmable) or 1.5 watt LED bulb. LED version is dimmable when using a compatible dimmer supplied by others. A flexible copper suspension provides a different compositional reading that results from shaping the copper tubing during installation. Pendants can be angled in any direction to provide a range of sculptural forms. The copper will weather and tarnish, registering the passage of time in its patina. The 28.7c light has a round white canopy and weighs approximately 21.5 lbs. Seven Xenon or LED bulbs are included. Approved to UL Standards by CSA. Manufactured by Bocci.

Bocci was founded after a chance meeting in 2005 of its principals, Omer Arbel and Randy Bishop, during New York Design Week where Arbel was presenting a prototype of a cast glass pendant lamp and Bishop was attending a convention. The pair returned to Vancouver and launched Bocci with Arbel's single, now iconic and award-winning '14' pendant. Over the ensuing decade, Bocci has grown into an expansive range of lighting designs organized into families that are characterized by overarching aesthetics achieved through Arbel's masterful experimentation and manipulation of materials - molten metals, blown glass, porcelain, ceramic - all infused with cutting edge illumination technologies. Arbel's designs instantly become the focal point of any interior, creating an ethereal nexus of the universes of illumination, sculpture, and installation. Switch Modern offers the entire Bocci range on our website as well as presents examples from several of Bocci lighting design families within our Atlanta showroom.
Omer Arbel (born 1976 in Jerusalem, Israel) graduated from the University of Waterloo in 1997 after earning a bachelor's degree in environmental science. He completed an apprenticeship under Catalan architect, Enric Miralles, and launched OAO, his own building design practice in 2005. His work includes lamps, sculptures, and even power outlets for Bocci; his designs focus on the exploration of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of materials and their interaction with light. Discussing the design process, Arbel notes that “failure is a constant companion. Nine out of 10 projects end in failure – we don't reach our destination, the client's patience runs out… there's great disappointment, there's mourning, and then there's the paradigm shift.”
