57t Table Lamp
Made by Bocci
Designed by Omer Arbel
Each 57T begins as molten glass, simultaneously inflated and collapsed by hand, forming deep folds, suspended air pockets, and surface geometries that resist exact repetition. Designed by Omer Arbel for Bocci, the process is as much experiment as craft. No two pieces are alike.
Unlit, the form reads as a dense, almost opaque sculpture. When illuminated, it opens inward, refracting light across surfaces that appear to exist at different depths within a single object. The result is atmospheric rather than strictly functional, closer to something that holds light than something that simply produces it.
- Experimental hand-blown glass process developed by Omer Arbel
- Each piece is singular and cannot be precisely replicated
- Integral dimming system built into the table hardware
- Shifts character entirely between lit and unlit states
Typically ships in 2-4 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes each Bocci 57T unique?
The 57T is produced through an experimental glassblowing process in which molten glass is simultaneously inflated and collapsed, generating folds, air pockets, and surface geometries that cannot be precisely controlled or repeated. Every piece is the singular result of that moment in the process.
Who designed the Bocci 57 Series?
The 57 Series was designed by Omer Arbel, the Vancouver-based architect and designer who serves as creative director of Bocci. Arbel's practice treats manufacturing processes as a form of design authorship, using material behavior rather than fixed templates to determine final form.
How does the 57T differ from the 57 pendant?
The 57T translates the 57 Series glassblowing process into a self-contained table lamp format, with considered table hardware and an integral dimming system, making it suitable for use without a ceiling installation.
Does the 57T work with a dimmer?
Yes. The 57T includes an integral dimming system as part of its table hardware, allowing the lamp's atmospheric quality to be adjusted directly without requiring a separate wall dimmer.
How should the Bocci 57T be specified for an interior project?
Because each 57T is individually produced and cannot be replicated exactly, designers typically specify it as a singular object rather than a matched set. Its scale and self-contained format suit side tables, credenzas, and other intimate settings where sculptural presence is as relevant as illumination.
