	Vitrics for Design
	Arik Levy Table The table shown here was exhibited at the Paris furniture show in January 2005. The table was designed by Arik Levy and engraved by us, and measures 1300 x 500 x 19mm. The engraving inside is a series of beehive like structures engraved within the glass to a depth of 10mm. The surface of the glass remains untouched and perfectly smooth. As you move around the table the design swirls and moves around as areas of the design close up and others open.

	Vodafone Corporate HQ, UK A specialist glass company who wanted to recreate a map of the world inside glass asked Sky Design to do the engraving. The final design comprised of 48 pieces of glass 1750 x 112 x 15mm. We engraved 5,000 spheres 13mm in diameter inside the various pieces of glass; every sphere having its precise position. We completed this project within 3 weeks. The images below give an idea of the result and the finished screen is in the Visionarium Room at the Vodafone HQ in Newbury.




	Ben Wilson Design 20th June September 7th This July the historic 'Tour de France¹ begins in London. This is the first time the Tour has started here and to celebrate this event there will be an exhibition held in the Tank at the Design Museum. Curated by Ben Wilson, Industrial designer and bike fanatic, 'Fixed¹ is a historic look at the fixed gear bike from 1888 to the present day. This Exhibition will feature four bicycles. A rare example of an early fixed geared bike the 'Swift solid tyred safety bicycle¹ built c1888. A 2007 'Terry Dolan¹ full carbon fibre track bike, currently used by some of our nations best track riders. The 'AF1¹ a fixed geared bike recently built by the Wilson Brothers for the sports brand Nike. And finally an example of a courier bike, evolved and adapted throughout its life, fabricated using disparate parts from various bikes to create a (well loved, well used piece of kit.) Along side the bikes will sit a unique insight in to the construction of a bicycle. An exploded, annotated diagram of a fixed geared bike lasered into a piece of sheet glass and suspended in the Tank. http://www.designmuseum.org/talks/talks http://www.benwilsondesign.co.uk
