Bocci has created 118, a group of hanging pendant lights.
118 is a hanging pendant-style luminaire, where each 118 contains dozens of small, feather-like forms, in either opal or coloured glass.
When lit from within, these interior intricacies come into even sharper detail.
In typical cage-blown glass objects, glass is blown into a metal cage and allowed to expand beyond the bars of the cage where openings are, but yet is constrained by the structure of the cage.
"118 is an innovation in the craft of glassblowing," said Bocci. "It is an extreme variation on the technique of cage-blown glass."
This project has been longlisted in the lighting design category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
