A Decade of Tim: Limited Edition by Anselm Reyle

Bomma celebrates 10 years of the iconic Tim light with a limited edition in collaboration with Anselm Reyle

On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Tim light, BOMMA presents a limited edition of only ten pieces, created in collaboration with German artist Anselm Reyle. The project brings into dialogue the hand-blown crystal form of the original light and the artist’s painterly intervention of color and light.

Tim, the very first light produced at the BOMMA glassworks ten years ago, has over the past decade become a recognizable element of contemporary Czech design. In this anniversary edition, Anselm Reyle lends the piece his distinctive artistic language. Known for his foil and striped paintings and for recontextualizing found objects, Reyle brings to glass a painterly gesture that both respects and transcends the light’s original form.

Each monumental, hand-blown light is complemented by spontaneous strokes of black spray paint and neon pink acrylic. Bold neons inside replace the conventional light source, giving the object a new, pulsating expression.

The result is an object where crystal, color, and light converge in a unique, collectible composition. This limited edition of ten pieces represents a meeting of two disciplines — glass craftsmanship and contemporary painting — and is intended for those who seek objects at the intersection of art and design.

The project was realized in cooperation with DSC Gallery. DSC Gallery presents the second solo exhibition in Prague by renowned German artist Anselm Reyle (*1970, Tübingen) entitled The Metamorphosis. The exhibition will run from March 3 to April 24, 2026, offering a unique opportunity to revisit Reyle’s work and the limited edition Tim lighting fixtures.

About artist

Berlin artist Anselm Reyle is considered a prominent figure in contemporary European art. In his work—which includes large-format abstract paintings, reliefs, and objects that straddle the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and installation—he explores the tension between the legacy of modernism and today’s visual culture. He uses industrial and found materials such as PVC foil, automotive paint, mirrors, concrete, LED and neon light, transforming them into powerful visual and spatial compositions with an intense sensory effect. Reyle studied painting in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe and has been a professor of painting at the HFBK Hamburg since 2009. His works have been exhibited in a number of important institutions, including the Kunsthalle Zürich, and are represented in prestigious public and private collections, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Pinault Collection.
