Bocci is a design studio and manufacturer based in Vancouver, Canada. Experimentation, collaboration, and hands-on making fuel every object we produce. Our team glassblowers, metalworkers, chemists, sculptors, designers, architects, and engineers — exchange skills and knowledge to extend the possibilities of form.
We are a fluid and elastic group of thinkers and explorers. Our ongoing pursuit is to capture our materials mid-transformation in the act of cooling, in the act of exploding, in the act of changing form. The material metamorphosis is the piece, with the resulting artefacts emerging secondary to these chemical reactions. Each collector of a Bocci object is invited to join this process.
Glass, copper, steel, concrete, wood, fire, air, electricity. These are what we work and play with. The material discoveries our team makes through collaboration are our products. Form emerges from what we call ‘constrained chance’: we might set the frameworks, but the materials act out their own will — often surprising us.
The products we choose to manufacture — each at its own chosen pace are punctuation marks in Bocci’s ongoing study of cause and effect.
