A few practical notes about BOCELLO pieces, materials, longevity, and more.
ABOUT BOCELLO
What is BOCELLO?
BOCELLO is a studio creating sound sculptures for modern interiors.
The work explores how form, material, and sound shape atmosphere through physical pieces with a sensory presence, designed to be lived with serenely over time.
Are the pieces functional objects or sculptures?
They are sculptural objects where form and function are held in balance.
Each piece is designed to work quietly within a space.
Are the pieces meant to be used everyday?
Yes.
They are made for regular, thoughtful interaction and designed to hold up to daily life.
SOUND SCULPTURE
What is a sound sculpture, and how is it meant to be experienced?
A BOCELLO sound sculpture is a bronze and ceramic pieces engineered to produce a clear, sustained resonance when struck.
Each piece features a bronze bell — a gentle tone that lingers before settling back into the space.
It may be used to mark a moment — before a meeting, at the beginning or end of the day, or as part of a personal reflective practice.
Is the sound suitable for shared spaces or quiet environments?
Yes.
The sound is warm and gentle, designed to integrate naturally into residential, studio, and hospitality settings without disruption.
MATERIALS & CRAFT
What materials are used?
Bronze and ceramic.
Bronze is chosen for its weight, beauty, and acoustic qualities. Ceramic introduces softness, contrast, and balance.
Will the materials change over time?
Yes — gradually.
Bronze develops a natural patina. Ceramic softens over time. Both respond to air, light, and handling. These materials were chosen with time in mind.
Is variation between pieces expected?
Yes.
Each piece is produced in small batches and finished individually. Dimensions and proportions remain consistent, and minor variations in surface and tone are natural and intentional.
PLACEMENT & CARE
Where do the pieces work best?
They are designed for calm interior settings — entryways, living spaces, studios, and shared environments where stillness is valued.
Are the pieces durable enough for hospitality?
Yes.
They are designed for stability and to be placed carefully in shared environments.
How should the pieces be cared for?
Dust with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners. Optional waxing of the bronze can delay the natural patina, if desired.
