Buoy marks safe zones and harbors with light – a sure guide for completing successful journeys. BOMMA Creative Director Václav Mlynář found inspiration in the symbolism and shape of buoys, designing lights that create a private harbor in your interior. “The Buoy Collection seeks a balance between sculpture and product design,” he explains. This exciting new addition combines classic geometric shapes, an unusual light source and monumental hand-blown crystal elements. The design pays homage to early BOMMA collections featuring geometric forms. The Buoy Collection is customizable through a choice of two original shapes and three colors – clear, opaque white, and smoke. Production requires three pairs of hands due to the piece’s monumental size. This level of perfection and craftsmanship ensure that the Buoy light will remain breathtaking for generations to come, each time it’s seen. 

The name of this collection refers to pearls, specifically the Japanese female pearl divers called Ama. The Ama Collection visually evokes the delicate shells of mussels that produce treasured pearls. Ama is formed by a stylized cut-crystal shell, protecting a light source of LED chips hidden in a round lightbulb with a titanium nitride coating that produces its pearly sheen. Each glass shell is produced by using a special glassmaking technique. Over the course of two days, the glass is heated and gradually melts by its own weight into a prepared conical mold. Ama lighting comes in both opened and closed versions that work beautifully as individual pieces or natural groupings into mussel clusters. Ama collection designed by Václav Mlynář is available in three original colors – smoke, bronze and crystal matte.
