Snub dodecahedron in glass and copper, an ArtiZi-OM creation

Snub dodecahedron

Rhombi

92 faces · teeming pentagons and triangles, caught in a living twist.

The snub dodecahedron is the most abundant of the Archimedean solids: twelve pentagons almost drowned in a multitude of triangles, the whole caught in a chiral rotation. It is the Ether of the dodecahedron with the breath of the living added, an almost organic shape, close to viruses, pollens, radiolarians. Up close, it reveals that density of facets where light multiplies and diffracts. A geometry of abundance and vitality, generous and complex. A star - Solar.

Open or closed

Closed. The geometry complete in itself. The archetypal fulfilment.

Open. To hold a plant, a candle, a crystal, and to settle, naturally.

Glass is a fragile material. Given the complexity of some creations, slight imperfections may appear; they bear witness to the handmade work.

Clean gently with a microfiber cloth, without applying any product directly onto the piece (put it on the cloth instead). The pieces are not 100% watertight: do not immerse them, and do not leave them hanging outdoors for long periods.

Do not hang the geometries above people's heads in living spaces. Favour a spot close to a wall instead, or place them at head height.
