The Bocci 14p portable light is a rechargeable table lamp designed by Omer Arbel for Canadian lighting brand Bocci. The piece extends the brand’s 14 Series, first introduced in 2005, into a portable format while maintaining the original spherical form. The lamp functions as a cordless ambient light that can be moved between interior and exterior settings. It operates as a standalone object with integrated lighting controls and battery power, allowing use without fixed installation.
The lamp is formed from two hand-cast glass hemispheres fused together to create a solid sphere with a visible equatorial seam. Air bubbles and irregularities remain within the glass, producing varied light refraction and surface texture. An internal LED source emits a warm glow through the material, while a small base supports directional placement. A USB-C charging system powers the unit, offering multiple brightness levels and battery life ranging from several hours to extended low-light operation.
