Tollgard Lighting Highlights – Lights to brighten up your day

Featured in the Design Centre’s Lighting by Design showcase, Tollgard is proud to offer a curated selection of some of the finest lighting brands in the world. From the gentle yet captivating glow of Bocci’s handblown glass spheres to the strongly simple forms of American studio Juniper – the opportunities to excite and illuminate are endless.

Bocci 28 Table Lamp

The 28 Table Light originated from a fabrication process that manipulates both the temperature and the direction of air flow into blown glass. The result is a slightly distorted sphere that houses an opaque orb of light that emits a gentle yet captivating glow. Founded by Omer Arbel in 2005, Bocci has become more than just a maker of beautiful glass luminaires. It brings together architecture, sculpture, invention, and design as each piece artistically and poetically explores the medium of light.

Designers Space Copenhagen aim to forge new paths by balancing opposites in their work. The contrast of these materials creates exciting new objects like this contemporary table lamp.
