Introducing the Buoy Range by Bomma

The Buoy collection was designed by Václav MlynáÅ™, who found inspiration in the concept of buoys as orientation points that guide sailors day and night. When lit, their flickering lights in the distance signifiy a safe harbor, carefully guiding a voyage through unknown territory. Similarly, the Buoy collection outlines a harbor of light in an interior. His hand-blown crystal lights feature unusual light rods that run through the entire core formed by a monumental glass body.

 

"The Buoy Collection seeks a balance between a classic light fixture and a light object, hovering at the edge of sculpture and product design," Václav explains.

Buoy’s diffusion light rod, running through the glass body, is made from sandblasted polycarbonate that perfectly distributes the light. In its center are numerous LED chips, and the upper and lower part of the light are enclosed by a metal plate. The metal comes in either a silver or black finish that can be further combined with a smoked, clear, or white tone of glass.

Production of this pendant requires three pairs of hands due to the piece’s monumental size – the large ball is almost a half-meter in diameter, the cone nearly a meter. This level of perfection and craftsmanship ensure that the Buoy light will remain breathtaking for generations to come, each time it’s seen.
