Bocci’s first lamp, 14, was made in a modified barn in rural British Columbia. Today, we are a team that collectively conjures our ever-growing portfolio of sculptural lighting. Every object is developed, engineered, and fabricated in-house in our factory in Vancouver, using open ended processes that foreground technique and quality.
Every Bocci product is hand-crafted and therefore unique. Each design follows a set of guidelines, not a rulebook. Each member of our team brings their own signature to each piece they make. That’s why no two Bocci products are exactly alike.
Collaboration is at Bocci’s core. We operate spaces for creative exchange in Vancouver, Milan, and Berlin. We invite designers, artists, and architects from our international community to join us in these showrooms and studios - to share work, grow community, deepen relationships, and spark imagination.
Watch: A glimpse in to 28 Process
28 is an exploration of fabrication process which is part of Bocci's quest for specificity in manufacturing. Instead of designing form, here the intent was to design a system that produces form. 28's result form a method that has loose parameters built into it, which produces a different shape in every iteration of the fabrication procedure. Individual 28 pendants result from a complex glass blowing technique whereby air is intermittently introduced into and then removed from a glass matrix which is intermittently heated and then rapidly cooled. The result is a distorted spherical shape with a composed collection of inner shapes, one of which is made of opaque milk glass and houses a low voltage lamp.
