Talking Points Summer 2017

Clockwise from left: our own choice was 28 Random , a suspended group of slightly distorted spheres, each with an interior landscape of satellite shapes which include an opaque milk glass housing the lamp. 84 , a white glass moil captured inside a fine copper mesh basket, plunged into hot clear glass and with air blown into the matrix to push the white glass through the mesh, and 87 , a super heated glass matrix which is vertically stretched and folded numerous times, are two new Bocci innovations which debuted at Euroluce in Milan in April.

Based in Vancouver and Berlin, Canadian design and manufacturing brand Bocci produce extraordinary objects with a practical function. In little more than ten years their unique lights, which blur the lines between architecture, sculpture, invention and design, have been exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum, commissioned for the Barbican, installed in London’s Canadian Embassy, and provide a permanent public artwork outside the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver.
