Rhombicosidodecahedron
62 faces · 20 triangles, 30 squares and 12 pentagons: a harmonious profusion.
It can be seen as an icosahedron being stretched, opened. The faces draw apart, the geometry breathes, and the squares, silently, fill the void. 62 faces. 120 edges. 60 vertices. The sequence {3,4,5,4} draws every vertex: triangle, square, pentagon, square, a musical measure repeated up to the 60th time. The rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the richest Archimedean solids: it gathers triangles, squares and pentagons into a luminous fullness, at the crossroads of every family of the divine proportion. Its almost spherical surface multiplies facets and reflections; light bounces through it endlessly. A shape of abundance and accomplishment, it evokes a geometric flower in full bloom, a generous, radiant presence that celebrates diversity within unity.
Open or closed
Closed. The geometry complete in itself. The archetypal fulfillment.
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. Favor a spot close to a wall instead, or place them at head height.
