57 white opaline is a variation of Bocci’s 57 series,
re- imagined in a custom-made opaline hue. Small clear
glass bubbles are applied to the exterior of a larger
opaline glass shape. The amorphous form is then
submerged in molten white glass, concealing the true
shape from view until the piece is illuminated. When
lit, an interior landscape of shapes is revealed and the
infinitely variable polythermic matrix of each pendant
can be understood. A flexible suspension system brings
movement and flow on an architectural scale, allowing
for transformative design outcomes.
