Vancouver based design and manufacturing firm [Bocci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-designs) presented the new Bocci 28 collection at the 2009 International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York to high praises. The Bocci 28 collection, designed by Omer Arbel, is a [suspended lighting system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-links) that is available in a variety of configurations. It features [distorted glass orbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-pendant), inside which are smaller spherical intrusions that are created using a technique where air is repeatedly blown in and sucked out of a periodically heated and cooled glass matrix. One of the interior shapes holds a low voltage or LED light source. The lighting pendents are available in clear, white and frosted glass and are designed to nestle into a hexagonal shape.
