Talbot Designs' dome causes a stir in
the WI
Plastics fabricator Talbot Designs is perhaps the pre-eminent producer of domes - creating structures in 160 sizes up to 2.2m in diameter - each of which has a glittering role right from the start.
Mention the word 'Dome' to some people and the image is conjured of the newly revived structure in London's Docklands But not all domes are equal

Talbot Designs' domes don't just share the limelight but provide it as well, as demonstrated by the use of two Talbot domes in TV shows Hell's Kitchen and In the Night Garden.

Talbot Designs' domes are often used as display cases but it is slightly rarer that one encloses a 24ct gold sculpture of the Statue of Liberty, hand-carved within the eye of a needle.
In fact, plastics fabricator, Talbot Designs, is perhaps the pre-eminent producer of domes.
So when a trade association wanted a giant 'mixing bowl' for a stunt with the Women's Institute to cause a stir about the benefits of recycling aerosols, its marketing team asked Talbot Designs to create an enormous plastic dome.
The dome was a perfect means of illustrating the mixing of an oversized 'cake' of empty metal cans and aerosols to raise awareness about recycling as a means of salvaging an annual 30,000 tonnes of high grade metal in the UK.
The image, which was produced for a campaign by the trade body, BAMA - the British Aerosol Manufacturers' Association - appeared across the back cover of the Women's Institute magazine.
The picture featuring the dome was a light-hearted means of alerting people to a serious topic.
Talbot Designs' Managing Director, Richard Woolff, said: "The versatility of our domes is immense; Talbot Designs' domes have been used for hundreds of different applications.
"Just a few examples are: window displays in a major Knightsbridge store, for light-fittings at Charing Cross Station and for a Royal Academy exhibition using distorting, metalised domes.
"We work fast and accurately and can usually deliver within the UK within 24 hours".
