The Bolle Collection: A Harmonious Fusion of Lightness, Innovation, and Craft

07 Apr 2025 CW Team

IDS by Innovative Design Group proudly unveils the Bolle Collection by Giopato & Coombes—a luminous symphony of transparency and form that captures the intangible beauty of light. Inspired by a serene stroll amidst drifting soap bubbles, the collection evokes the delicate and ephemeral nature of light itself.

At the heart of the Bolle Collection lies a masterful blend of handcrafted transparent glass spheres and brass light sources, suspended as if weightless in air. Each piece creates a visual narrative where reflections and curves perform a poetic interplay, bringing an almost magical quality to any interior space.

The transparent version of the collection allows light to flow unhindered, amplifying its radiance while gently engaging with its surroundings. More than mere illumination, these pieces are a tribute to craftsmanship, imagination, and the artistry of glass.

Available in multiple configurations—including linear, circular, and cascading chandeliers—the Bolle Collection is designed to elevate both residential and hospitality environments, transforming them into immersive, dreamlike settings.

Every Bolle Transparent creation is handmade in Italy, using age-old Venetian glassblowing traditions. The result is a lighting object that merges the contemporary with the timeless, balancing sophistication and airiness in perfect harmony.

Through Giopato & Coombes, Innovative Design Studios continues its mission to deliver emotionally resonant, technically refined lighting solutions—inviting individuals to rediscover the poetry of light in their daily spaces.
