28t Table Lamp

Omer Arbel developed a process in which recessed inclusions are formed within the glass sphere during the blowing process. These voids catch and pool light internally, producing a glow with visible depth rather than simple diffusion. Because the process is performed by hand, every globe varies slightly in the character and placement of its inclusions.

Yes. The 28t includes an integral dimming system housed within its cylindrical body, so no external dimmer switch is required. The lamp ships with a 1W LED source at 2700K, suited to the intimate scale and atmospheric quality of the piece.

The 28t uses a semi-rigid black fabric cord that can be gently bent and held in position by hand. This allows the lamp to adopt a specific posture or direction on a surface, adding a modest sculptural dimension beyond the glass globe itself.

Omer Arbel is a Canadian architect and designer who founded Bocci in Vancouver. His practice is defined by process-led experimentation, particularly with glass, where manufacturing technique and material behavior are treated as the primary design instruments. The 28 Series, begun in 2005, remains one of the clearest expressions of that philosophy.

Given its compact scale and focused, warm light output, the 28t works well on bedside tables, desks, shelves, and consoles where a single concentrated source of atmosphere is preferable to broad illumination. Its sculptable cord allows it to address a specific direction or object.
