Bocci 28 Surface Mounted Light
The 28 surface mounted light is designed to be used as a wall and ceiling treatment for a wide range of environments. Use it as accessory lighting in living rooms, hallways or as decorative lighting in building lobbies and other spaces. Individual 28 surface mounted lights gain tremendous strength when clustered and multiplied.
28 is an exploration of specificity in manufacturing. Instead of designing form itself, here the intent was to design a system of making that yields form. Individual 28 pendants result 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 imploded inner shapes, one of which acts as a shade for a low voltage (12V, 20W) xenon light source.
Standard 28’s are made with clear glass exterior spheres and milk white interior lamp holder cavities. 28’s are possible with infinite versatility in colour compositions, sizes and shapes.
The 's' designation in this variation on the 28 refers to it being surface-mounted, with transformers mounted remotely. This surface light has a discrete 55 mm (2.2") in diameter mounting plate designed to be mounted on walls as well as ceilings.
The 'sp' designation in this variation on the 28 refers to it being surface-mounted, paintable and connects directly to a junction box. This surface light has a 115 mm (4.5") in diameter mounting plate designed to be mounted on walls as well as ceilings.

Jerusalem, 1976
Omer Arbel graduated from the University of Waterloo’s School of Architecture in 2000, and, after apprenticeships with several architectural companies, founded Omer Arbel Office, a Vancouver-based design practice, in 2005. The practice produces designs for buildings, objects, furniture, lighting and electrical accessories.
Arbel is also the creative director of the manufacturing and design company, Bocci that produces cast glass lighting features. Cast glass is an organic process, imperfect by nature and each piece is hand made to the client’s specifications. Bocci is now featured in buildings and homes worldwide and has won several high profile international design awards.
Vancouver-based Bocci is a world leader in contemporary lighting design. Founded by Creative Director Omer Arbel in 2005, the "14," where handmade cast glass globes hang from coaxial cables in random arrangements, was their first commercial design and an instant classic. Bocci’s lighting solutions include suspension, floor, wall, ceiling, and table lamps.
Bocci’s designs emerge through experimentation and a deep respect for the materials they work with. The team includes metalworkers, glassblowers, chemists, sculptors, designers, architects, and engineers collaborating to explore and extend lighting form, function, and possibility. Bocci believes that "nurturing the imagination comes from feeding the soul."
