SUSTAINABLE LIGHTING – Illuminating a greener future

BOMMA ‘Fragments’: From Waste to Original Gemstones

Czech brand BOMMA presents its Fragments Lighting Collection, crafted from Fragmentglass—an innovative material upcycled from glass shards. With sustainability at its core, BOMMA transforms discarded glass into unique, character-rich panels shaped by the melting process.
Each Fragmentglass panel boasts irregular bubbles, iron flecks, and textures that would traditionally be considered flaws but are embraced here as elements of beauty. Available in Black, White, and Flamingo Mint, the collection embodies BOMMA’s bold approach to craftsmanship and design.
The Fragments Collection offers pendant lights in two sizes with refined mountings in brushed gold or anthracite. Its modular design allows for creative, custom installations that blend sustainability with personalized elegance.

Faro: Advocating Circularity through Sustainable Design

Faro’s latest collections—Tierra, Mar, and Aire—designed by Héctor Serrano, champion circularity in lighting design. These collections are produced through large-scale 3D printing, using 100% recycled and recyclable materials, and made locally on demand to reduce the environmental impact of storage and transportation.
Tierra evokes the warmth of beehives and the importance of biodiversity, using PLA bioplastic mixed with recycled pine cellulose to create pendant lights that radiate warmth and elegance.
Mar draws inspiration from sea urchins, crafted from 75% recycled fishing nets, addressing marine pollution while creating sinuous, ocean-inspired designs.
Aire is made from 100% recycled PETG, resembling airy bubbles that fill spaces with a balance of elegance and technological precision. Its transparent finish diffuses light in magical ways, while embodying sustainability at its core.
