Transient Images of the Eternal
Phenomena by Studio DECHEM
The name chosen for this BOMMA collection, inspired by basic geometric shapes, comes
from the Greek word for ‘appearances’. According to Plato’s teachings, phenomena are
mere transient images of eternal and perfect forms and thus inherently unreal. A fitting
name for objects made of glass – a material that is both rigid and flexible, as well as
strong, yet fragile. These lighting fixtures, in an array of fascinating sizes, are hand-blown
into custom-made forms that combine both clear and colored glass. The color gradient
is created by being gradually blown into the molten mass, as if breathing life into this
collection. The flawlessly smooth shape of the crystal light is accented by a sophisticated
polished mounting, highlighting a perfect blend of materials and aesthetics.
