Designed by: Omer Arbel
Manufactured by: Bocci
The Bocci 73s/sp wall light is formed by blowing liquid glass into a folded and highly heat-resistant ceramic fabric vessel. The resulting shape has a formal and textural expression intuitively associated with fabric, which becomes permanent and rigid as it cools. A flat LED is positioned to fill the resulting volume with diffuse light, accentuating the volumetric perception of the piece. By virtue of the loosely controlled manufacturing process, each 73 is completely unique in proportion, size, and shape.
The 73s wall light variation is surface mounted, with power supplies mounted remotely. This surface light has a discrete 3.1” diameter mounting plate designed for installation on walls as well as ceilings.
The 73sp wall light is surface mounted, with a mounting plate large enough to cover a standard North American junction box. This surface light has a paintable 4.5” diameter mounting plate designed to be mounted on walls as well as ceilings.
Both versions are IP65 designated and can be used outdoors and in other wet environments. UL Listed. Manufactured by Bocci.

Bocci was founded after a chance meeting in 2005 of its principals, Omer Arbel and Randy Bishop, during New York Design Week where Arbel was presenting a prototype of a cast glass pendant lamp and Bishop was attending a convention. The pair returned to Vancouver and launched Bocci with Arbel's single, now iconic and award-winning '14' pendant. Over the ensuing decade, Bocci has grown into an expansive range of lighting designs organized into families that are characterized by overarching aesthetics achieved through Arbel's masterful experimentation and manipulation of materials - molten metals, blown glass, porcelain, ceramic - all infused with cutting edge illumination technologies. Arbel's designs instantly become the focal point of any interior, creating an ethereal nexus of the universes of illumination, sculpture, and installation. Switch Modern offers the entire Bocci range on our website as well as presents examples from several of Bocci lighting design families within our Atlanta showroom.
Omer Arbel (born 1976 in Jerusalem, Israel) graduated from the University of Waterloo in 1997 after earning a bachelor's degree in environmental science. He completed an apprenticeship under Catalan architect, Enric Miralles, and launched OAO, his own building design practice in 2005. His work includes lamps, sculptures, and even power outlets for Bocci; his designs focus on the exploration of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of materials and their interaction with light. Discussing the design process, Arbel notes that “failure is a constant companion. Nine out of 10 projects end in failure – we don't reach our destination, the client's patience runs out… there's great disappointment, there's mourning, and then there's the paradigm shift.”
