'Shapes of Light' was a seasonal artistic installation by the contemporary design firm Bocci. The strikingly intricate piece, which was located in Vancouver, BC, was composed of sixty-one pendant lights from the brand's 28 Series. These silhouettes were characterized by hand-shaped glass and copper elements, which showcased expert-level craftsmanship.
'Shapes of Light' captivated with "the natural fluidity of its flexible suspension." The selected lighting fixtures were in a range of green colors intended to reflect the thematic essence of the holiday period. The assembly process itself was presented as a performance — "a considered choreography" — with individuals carefully placing each component to gradually construct the overall shape.
All in all, 'Shapes of Light' was a large-scale, physical manifestation of Bocci's acclaimed lighting design philosophy.
