28 series pendant lights

Artificial light, the miraculous phenomenon that allows us to conduct activities unhindered long after the sun goes down, also provides inspiration for some of the world’s most innovative design feats. The 28 series of pendant lights – from Canadian design studio Bocci – results from a complex glass-blowing technique whereby air pressure 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. Intended to hang in clusters, the 28 series is a post-sundown spectacle in itself.
