The body is a hemisphere and it is cast hollow, so light comes through the faceted wall and stops at the flat top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBroken Ice Outside, a Flat Disc Within\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faceting is broken into the mould rather than carved afterwards, so every facet keeps the edge the break gave it and none is eased. Keeping the hollow wall even all through the hemisphere is harder than on a straight side, since the section wants to thin at the crown and a thin patch would show from outside. The inner disc is worked flat in the upper mould face and set down inside the rim, so the two surfaces meet at an arris rather than a curve. Where the dome is at its fullest it is ground true, because that line is what the piece bears on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dome fills the space in front of a sofa and reads as one mass from every direction, since nothing about it changes as it is walked around. The flat inner disc sits below the rim, so a glass stands in a well rather than on a plane and will not slide off a table this deep. The faceted wall throws light sideways in every direction, which suits a lamp set low beside it far better than a ceiling fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Facets, the Inner Disc, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pieces take 3–4 weeks and bespoke commissions 5–6. The time goes on the chipped face. Three things are settled at order. The frosting can be taken to a gloss, the inner disc can be dished rather than left flat, and the tint is open. Dome diameter and dome height are each specified. Put the whole order in at once and the break of the facets carries across every piece. The raised rim and the chipped underside are wrapped first, and the crate is shaped to the dome so the piece bears on its widest line rather than on the rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broken-ice dome with a flat disc set in its rim belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; holding a glass in its sunken centre, it joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, the faceted shell our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Hollow at a 30mm Wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53998846345563,"sku":"J787","price":7155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J787.jpg?v=1791401956","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-broken-ice-dome-cast-resin-low-table-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
