The piece is built around a deep, hand-sculpted channel packed with clear glass crystals. This channel acts as a natural light guide. It catches and refracts ambient rays even when the unit is powered down. This ensures the sculpture maintains a sharp visual presence in a daylight environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe aesthetic changes entirely once the internal lighting is activated. For example, when set to blue hues, the crystalline path takes on the appearance of a moving river current flowing through the weathered wood. This specific interaction between the organic texture of the driftwood and the sharp, illuminated glass creates a striking, high-contrast atmosphere. The height and vertical movement of the piece make it a definitive focal point for any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVisual Performance\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with an integrated Smart-Lighting engine, River Ice offers total atmospheric control via Bluetooth. You can transition from crisp, surgical whites to deep, animated color scenes. The sculpture’s geometry allows for two distinct display modes. Position it forward for a direct, sculptural glow, or rotate the piece to wash a wall in ambient light to highlight the natural movement and grain of the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Stewardship\u003c\/b\u003e The driftwood was hand-selected in Utah for its structural character and weathered texture.

This space is custom-fitted with aluminum heat sinks and integrated ventilation.

This ensures the electronics operate at peak performance so that River Ice can be enjoyed for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smithereens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42560322994270,"sku":null,"price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/4202\/4542\/files\/IMG-5974.jpg?v=1774510237"},{"product_id":"emerald-run","title":"Emerald Run","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003eEmerald Run \u003c\/strong\u003eis a one-of-a-kind light sculpture handcrafted from driftwood and built around a channel of emerald glass.
