Standard

Our standard collection offers flexibility in both design and

measure, starting from a single pendant and continuing

through to 36 pendant chandeliers in a range of canopy

shapes and sizes. The clustering effect can be manipulated

through various combinations to create larger scale groupings

with incredible impact. Our standard range of chandeliers is

available with extremely short lead-times.

The 14 series is designed by Omer Arbel for Bocci

and made in Vancouver, Canada.

ApplicationThe 14 is an articulated, seamed cast glass sphere with a

frosted cylindrical void that houses either a low voltage (12V,

10Watt halogen/xenon) or proprietary and replaceable LED

(12V, 0.3Watt) lamp. Individual pendants are visually quite

subtle, but gain tremendous strength when multiplied and

clustered in large groups. Light interacts with the bubbles and

imperfections of the cast glass to produce a glow reminiscent

of small candles floating within spheres of water. Cast glass

is an organic process, imperfect by nature, and each 14 is

handmade; thus, every piece produced is unique.

Suitable for residential and commercial use. Popular

applications to date include clusters over tables in residential

dining rooms and restaurants, accessory lighting in living

rooms, decorative lighting, linear configurations or clusters

over bars and kitchen islands, and large chandeliers in building

lobbies and other public spaces.

As an alternative to standard built-in transformers, Bocci

recommends mounting transformers remotely in an easily

accessible and hidden location for ease of long-term

maintenance.

MaterialsCast glass, blown borosilicate glass, braided metal coaxial

cable, silicone gaskets, electrical components.

The 24.2 LED lamping option offers a longer-life, energy-

efficient alternative to typical halogen or xenon lamps. This

proprietary and worldwide patent pending invention utilizes

Bocci’s standard G4 lamp holder (12 mm in diameter) which is

designed to accept either the Bocci 24.1 long life xenon lamp or

the Bocci 24.2 LED. Dual usage allows existing chandeliers with

xenon lamping to be retrofitted on site by simply switching out

the lamp head and transformers.

LED24.2

This unique replacement design is unlike typical embedded LED

fixtures as it eliminates the waste associated with catastrophic

failures that leave no choice but to replace the entire fixture.

When it comes time to relamp with the 24.2, the LED heads

may simply be replaced, as with conventional lamps. The 24.2

keeps the fixture out of future landfills, protects your investment

and introduces a significant saving of energy.

The 24.2 has a colour temperature of approximately 2900°K

casting a soft, warm light with the output akin to a 5W xenon

lamp. For comparative purposes, the consumption rate of the

24.2 is roughly 0.3W per pendant. The lamp life is 50,000 hours

minimum, depending on ambient conditions, and comes with a

two-year warranty. Replacement 24.2 are readily available with

Bocci’s quick-ship program.

MaterialsWarm white light emitting diodes, frosted acrylic cover, brushed

nickel base and electrical components.

Worldwide utility patents pending.

Bocci is a contemporary design and manufacturing house

based in Vancouver, Canada and Berlin, Germany. At Bocci we

are committed to fostering a healthy and stable co-operative

community of designers, architects, craftspeople, technicians,

manufacturers and fine shops, with the goal of creating

practical but striking consumer goods of the highest quality.

The Bocci collection has grown to include custom chandeliers,

furniture and cutting edge electrical components.

About BOCCI

Portrait of Omer Arbel by Jason Mclean

Omer Arbel trained in the late nineties as an architect. He

apprenticed under Enric Miralles and John and Patricia

Patkau, among others, and was centrally involved in several

successful high-profile building projects and award winning

international design competitions.

Design

In 2003, Arbel founded a multidisciplinary design studio focused

on blurring the boundaries between the fields of architecture,

industrial design, and materials research. It has been said of

Arbel’s practice that its industrial design works, in both limited

edition and mass-produced formats, appear to be motivated

by larger scale concepts which can only be considered

architectural. Conversely, critics have noted that the practice’s

architectural works appear to be inspired by an obsession with

the object, the possibilities implicit in the process of making,

and the intrinsic quality of materials. Pieces by Arbel have won

some of the highest profile international awards, have been

widely exhibited and published, and form part of important

private and institutional collections.

In 2005, Arbel became Bocci’s creative director. His conceptual

approach, now fueled by an infrastructure for prototyping, fine

craft, manufacturing and distribution, has given birth to an

eclectic collection of conceptually driven lighting, furniture,

electrical accessories and objects that have since gained

significant presence and impact within the design community.

At Bocci, we strive to create objects that will become

companions in people’s lives. Bocci’s creative director, Omer

Arbel believes that “If we make objects that require (or at least

suggest the possibility of) a commitment to living an entire

lifetime alongside them, then the selection of one object over

another becomes important and meaningful.” Investment in the

quality, value, beauty and worth of the objects that surround us

becomes paramount.

Sustainability

In pre-industrialized western societies the average individual

owned less than 100 objects throughout his or her lifetime.

These items were, by implication, meaningful. A lifetime with

only 100 discreet objects is a life in which each object is

likely practical, beautiful, particular, inherited and well made.

These objects are undoubtedly precious to their owners; each

possessing a tremendous emotional depository of memories.

In contrast, today’s consumer society is characterized by what

could be described as an unhealthy relationship between the

subject (us) and object (the things that surround us). We do

not commit to our objects – rather they cycle in and out of our

lives and end up in land fills. The objects don’t really make

a commitment to us either – they are usually badly made,

badly designed, thoughtless items. At Bocci we strive to make

objects that are good enough that they suggest the possibility

of a lifelong commitment to their owners.

Of course, the objects designed at Bocci also take into account

conventional sustainability principles. The 14 series cast glass

chandelier is made of recycled glass, for example. However, we

hope that our greater contribution is in the conceptual model

discussed above. If we are able to redefine (or at least, suggest

an alternative to) what we see as a fundamentally unhealthy

relationship between people and objects, we hope to help

stem the tide of irresponsible consumption that characterizes

our culture.

Custom

Bocci has embarked on a mission to explore the medium of the

chandelier within the contemporary design landscape and has

been involved in the design and manufacturing of installations

of tremendous scale and virtually limitless size and scope.

We offer consultation, design and fabrication services for

custom chandeliers of delirious proportions and unlimited

configurations.

The 14 series is designed by Omer Arbel for Bocci

and made in Vancouver, Canada.
