cable length 28 is an exploration of fabrication process, which is part of Arbel's quest for specificity in manufacturing Instead of designing form itself, here the intent was to design a system that produces form Arbel developed a system of making with built-in flexibility resulting in a unique shape in every iteration of the fabrication procedure Thus, every 28 made is formally different from any other Individual 28 pieces 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 inner shapes, one of which is made of opaque milk glass and houses a low voltage (12V, 20W) xenon The 28d fixture is designed to sit on a horizontal surface (a desk, table, shelf, or even the floor) It consists of a single illuminated 28 piece wired to a flexible grey crochet memory cable The cable is intended to be coiled into a sculptura pattern to provide a cushioned surface on which the glass sits Suitable for residential and commercial use Popular applications include single pieces or clusters in residential or office environments, accessory lighting in living rooms and public spaces, decorative lighting, and giftware Blown glass, flexible crochet memory cable, and electrical components Purchase replacement lamps online at www bocci ca/lamps Unless otherwise noted when ordering, all chandeliers will be outfitted to Worldwide patents issued and pending Made in Vancouver, Canada For additional information, please contact BOCCI Vancouver BOCCI Berlin © 2010, Bocci Design and Manufacturing Ine All rights reserved These drawings and the information contained herein may not be reproduced, communicated I to the public, or made available in whole or in part without prior permission Any inquiries should be directed to the following email address: admin@bocci ca ^# \J %0 %0 m
