Omer Arbel Sheds Some New Light

Vancouver designer, Omer Arbel, was recently appointed as Creative Director for Bocci, a new Canadian Manufacturer of high design objects.

Instead of choosing a mid career, established designer for our creative director, we decided to choose someone up and coming who has not yet reached the peak of his career; that way our company can grow and develop along side our creative director’s career. We are getting in on the ground floor, so to speak. Omer Arbel was the perfect fit.

Bocci will inaugurate the new collection with his 14 series cast glass pendants.

The 14 series is a family of low voltage lighting fixtures. The pendants are articulated seamed cast glass spheres with frosted cylindrical voids in them, which house halogen light fixtures. The pendants are designed to be clustered in groups - the effect being of many tiny candles encased in floating spheres of water. The light interacts with the imperfections / bubbles in the glass to make a visually rich halo of light around the piece.

Where can I see and buy these lights in Vancouver

We saw your lights at the home show and they are the first ones we have seen that are fabulous. Do they give enough light for an over the counter application on black granite. Where can I see and buy them?

Installation Specifications

I am a Master Electrician in Michigan. I have a client who has asked me if your 14.25 pendant chandelier can be installed in the foyer of her house. I told her that I would not be able to answer "how it has to be installed" until I know the manufacturer's installation specifications. I am looking for the weight, and what type of support is requuired. Also, should this fixture be supported by a motor driven cable so that it can be lowered for cleaning. I appreciate any information that you can provide. Thank You Clarence Mills 248-3360-3967 millselec@comcast.net
