BOCCI 14 Series by Omer Arbel

Recent visitors to the store may have noticed our stairwell darkened by the cover of scaffolding. As we prepared the store for the flood of summer sun, the skylight was freshly finished and a dazzling display of a BOCCI 14.80 chandelier was installed. Electricians and installers worked through the night to hang a cascade of pendants through two floors of our showroom.

BOCCI 14 Series available in single, multiple, or custom chandeliers.
