The Soap and Tim Collections are produced using
the technique of hand-blowing without a mold. These
seemingly perfect droplets of molten glass are given
a unique shape, making each piece an original.

Three BOMMA masters work together to make
Phenomena glass, which weights over 23 kg. Because the
production is so physically demanding they are able to
produce only six pieces per day.

Each glass shell of the Ama Collection is produced
by using an old glassmaking technique. Over the course
of two days, the glass is heated in a furnace and gradually
lays down by its own weight into a prepared mold.
A contour pattern is then cut into the glass surface by
BOMMA's in-house developed CNC machines adding
a final touch.

The Buoy Collection with its weight approaching
20kg is one of BOMMA's largest collection. First
a prototype of glass is always blown into the wooden
molds. Once the final design is approved, aluminum
molds are produced which ensure that glass parts fit
perfectly with metal fittings when assembled.
3
The glass shell of Mussels is created on
BOMMA's high quality press. This precise technique
allows BOMMA to produce a very fine details that are
not possible by hand-blowing techniques. The collection
carries a rippling patterned imprint. When lit, it creates
the effect of light reflecting from a water surface.
