MUSSELS 12 - Lustra

Mussels 12 Chandelier by Bomma - lamps inspired by the nature's perfect shells

Elegance, variability and an organic aesthetic, describes the new Mussels collection by Czech brand Bomma. Imagine sparkling water hiding fascinating, incredibly detailed mussels. The mussels chandelier consists of 12 crystal shells surrounded in a light source cradled in a precise base within either glossy anthracite or brushed gold tones. The glass shells carry a rippling patterned imprint. When lit, the chandelier creates the effect of light reflecting from a water surface. The Mussels collection is inspired by organic shapes, natural colors and the natural environment is apparent at first glance.

“Shells, and particularly mussels, always fascinated me with their simple, yet sophisticated, shape. Each is an original but together they form interesting compositions. They carry a sense of elegance and organic nature, as well as a bit of mystery.” Václav Mlynář, designer of the collection and Bomma creative director.

All Bomma products are hand-made from mouth-blown lead-free crystal. Therefore any small bubbles and irregularities in the glass are both a proof and a characteristic feature of this traditional craft. the Bright star is sandblasted. The dark star is polished.

Since 2012 Bomma has been continually moving traditional Czech glassmaking crafts to a new level. Despite having centuries of glassmaking tradition in East Bohemia, Bomma sets today’s standards of glassmaking and lighting design. The emphasis on contemporary and modern design, outstanding glass quality and detail brought to Bomma many awards and worldwide recognition in a surprisingly short time, leading to exceptional positioning in the market, as well as countless interesting projects and collaborations.
