Phenomena
by Dechem Studio
TRANSIENT IMAGES
OF THE ETERNAL
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.
