73 results from blowing liquid glass into a folded and highly heat-resistant ceramic fabric vessel. The resulting shape has a formal and textural expression intuitively associated with fabric, which becomes permanent and rigid as it cools. A flat LED is positioned to fill the resulting volume with diffuse light, accentuating the volumetric perception of the piece. 73.8 is a random configuration of eight 73 pendants hung from a rectangular canopy. The drop lengths of the pendants are randomized between a client specified range of heights to variously cluster and scatter. The result is an ambient installation or field of light. The 73 is formed by blowing liquid glass into a folded and highly heat-resistant ceramic fabric vessel. The resulting shape has a formal and textural expression intuitively associated with fabric, which becomes permanent and rigid as it cools. Each 73 is completely unique in proportion, size and shape. Pendant lengths are pre-set during production and are not site adjustable. Lengths are determined by client upon order confirmation and fabricated by Bocci. Shortest and longest lengths must be provided and are recommended to be no less than 12″ apart to create an optimum cascade. Bocci will create a random selection of lengths throughout the minimum and maximum range provided.
