87 Series Pendant
Made by Bocci
Designed by Omer Arbel
Omer Arbel developed the 87 Series through a process of sodium bicarbonate injection and hand-stretching, coaxing molten glass into looped, continuous forms that seem to defy their own weight. No two pendants are identical.
Tiny air bubbles suspended within the glass walls scatter light into a soft, pearlescent diffusion, while the integrated LED traces the fluid interior geometry of each piece. The warm 2700K illumination turns the glass into a source of atmosphere, not mere function.
Natural variation in proportion, loop density, and surface character gives each pendant its own quiet individuality, a quality inseparable from the hand-forming process itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Bocci 87 Series glass formed?
Each pendant is made by injecting sodium bicarbonate into molten glass, which is then hand-stretched into looped, continuous forms. This process suspends tiny air bubbles within the glass walls, producing the characteristic pearlescent light diffusion.
Are all Bocci 87 Series pendants unique?
Yes. Because each piece is hand-formed, natural variation in loop density, proportion, and surface character is inherent to the process. No two pendants are identical.
What color temperature does the 87 Series use?
The integrated LED source is calibrated to 2700K, a warm tone that reinforces the intimate, atmospheric quality of the glass.
Can the 87 Series be configured as a chandelier or cluster?
Yes. The 87 Series is available as a single pendant or in custom multi-pendant arrangements, making it suitable for large-scale residential and commercial installations.
