\"bocci<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed by\u00a0Omer Arbel<\/strong>, Bocci\u2019s Creative Director,\u00a057\u00a0<\/strong>is an exploration of a technique of making analogous to that used for producing open cell foam. The process involves trapping voids of air of different sizes and configurations within a glass matrix, and then injecting air into the composition, yielding a shape loosely referencing a rain cloud. These pockets of air remain invisible when the piece is off, but come alive to reveal an interior universe when the piece is turned on.<\/p>\n

As with all of Arbel\u2019s recent body of work, it is the technique of making that yields 57\u2019s form, which is unique in every iteration of the procedure. A flexible suspension system allows easy composition: Pendants may be clustered such that they touch each other, referencing a cloudy sky (an especially poignant reference in the City of Vancouver, where the idea was born); they may also be composed as a field, such that each piece can be perceived individually, perhaps referencing a child\u2019s drawing of a could (equally poignant but in a more universal manner). Most chandeliers are fundamentally vertical in composition, which is why they work best in rooms with high ceilings; in contrast, 57 is conceived as a layer or strata of light, or in other words, a horizontal chandelier.<\/p>\n
