DESCRIPTION
The 16.40 is a tree-like 16 installation using 40 pendants and a modular
stainless steel armature system mounted to a seven tube stainless steel 'birch'
base. These trees are designed to be grouped into forest-like assemblies of a
variety of different sizes and types, but are strong compositional elements on
their own. Installation of these trees is involved and Bocci recommends a
structural consultant to assess the viability of the system in the context
in which it is to be installed. Installation requires anchoring into either an
existing structural slab, or a newly built foundation, to the specifications of
the design drawings including appropriate drainage if exposed to water and
remotely mounted LED drivers.
16 is formed by sequentially pouring three separate layers of coloured, molten
glass – in varying opacities – on a horizontal plane. Each layer responds to the
indeterminate shape of the previous pour to create a uniquely layered whole. Two
of these pieces are then attached and illuminated with an internal LED lamp.
The finished 16 is visually complex: each separate colour layer is visible through
the other layers, with light reflecting along the edges.
Each armature segment carries low-voltage electricity and diverges into 2-4
separate branches, allowing both vertical and horizontal deployment with an
infinite variety of possible forms. The branches simply click together during
installation for custom, on-site arrangements.
All trees are rated for outdoor (or indoor) use based on structural analysis for
the maximum loaded trees noted above in moderately sheltered locations near
seawater with minimal snow loads. Any other application restraints may need
further engineering.
The distance of a pendant from the tree can only be increased if fewer pendants
per branch are used, up to a maximum of 1800mm with a single pendant.
NOTES
+ Purchase replacement lamps online at www.bocci.ca/lamps
+
Unless otherwise specified, a single class 2 transformer will be sent with
every 13 pendants.
+
Available in a wet location configuration.
+ Note: transformers must be mounted remotely in an easily accessible and
hidden location for ease of long-term maintenance.
