Designers Michaela Tomiskova and Jakub Jandourek of DECHEM studio have crafted the fragmented lighting collection for BOMMA. As the name suggests, the lighting collection is made using broken glass fragments that usually end up in the trash can. Glass doesn’t lose its quality even if it is upcycled multiple times. Taking advantage of this virtue, the designers make the best use of colored glass shards, transforming them into original gemstone-like installations.
This fragmented lighting collection is built by melting the glass in the kiln which forms the bubbles, texture and layers. Afterward, these shards are hand-cut by the glass cutter and given a pendent-shaped form. The lighting series is built in two different sizes – short and long – and three different colors black, white and flamingo mint. The fittings of the lights are available in brushed gold and anthracite finishes.
The shape of the fragmented glass collection resembles the rare gems found beneath the earth’s surface. The pendent-shaped fragmented lighting collection reveals its true beauty when you attach it to a light source. Each piece is designed with simple shapes that draw attention to the glass patterns. The underside of the lighting shows a rougher texture that reflects and refracts the light in your surroundings.
Michaela Tomiskova says that the process of choosing the individual colors of the panels was complex and lengthy. The pattern and structure of the shards arranged in the glass furnace are closely observed. He adds, “After many trials, we have come up with three colors that can be beautifully combined, yet each is visually strong on its own.”

The fragmented light series also emphasizes sustainable living by reusing the glass shards into mesmerizing light fixtures. This unique design, introduced by BOMMA, brings aesthetics to your home décor and illuminates your surroundings beautifully. It can either be used in a living room, or a study room, depending on your preferences.
