What we carve

A studio for every frozen vision

From single hero pieces to full venue transformations, our work spans intimate dinner tables and 1,200-guest brand activations. Each piece is hand-shaped in our cold room, then installed on site within the hour.

Ice Luge Bars

Multi-station ice bars carved to your brand's identity — pour-through luges, LED-lit plinths, and branded façades designed for high-volume service.

Centrepiece Sculptures

Tabletop and bar-top pieces — oysters, geometric totems, branded monograms — sized between 15 cm and 1.5 m for dinners, weddings, and press launches.

Statement Installations

Architectural-scale works — frozen thrones, heraldic crests, suspended chandeliers — for product reveals, fashion week, and private estates.

Corporate & Brand

Logos, mascots, and product replicas carved from optically clear blocks for conferences, AGMs, and after-parties — finished with edible flowers or smoke.

Weddings & Private

First-sculpture-after-the-vow moments — heart walls, cake surrounds, and signature serve stations shaped around your colour palette and story.

Why Sorbitium

The craft, the cold chain, the calm under pressure

Ice is unforgiving. One degree off, one bump in transit, one late call from the venue — and the piece is gone. We've built the entire operation to remove that risk.

Optically clear blocks, sourced direct

We pull from a single Norwegian supplier whose blocks measure 99.6% light transmission. No air bubbles, no milky cores — every piece reads like cut glass before we touch a chisel.

A purpose-built −18°C studio

All rough carving happens in our 4,000 sq ft cold room in Bermondsey. Pieces leave for site already 80% finished, which means less on-site time and lower melt risk.

Refrigerated logistics, in-house

Two temperature-controlled vans run six days a week. We don't sub-contract your delivery to a courier who has never carried ice — your sculpture is on our vehicle, end to end.

Installers, not just carvers

Every job ships with a two-person install team. They arrive, position, dress the piece, and stay through the first hour of service — adjusting lighting, drainage, and drip trays in real time.

The process

From first sketch to final pour

A clear, five-step path from your brief to the moment a guest walks into a room and stops talking.

01

Brief

30-minute call. Theme, guest count, venue, budget. We listen, then reply in writing within 24 hours.

02

Concept

Hand-drawn sketches, reference photos, and a fixed quote. Two revision rounds are included in every quote.

03

Carve

2–5 days in our cold room, depending on scale. We send progress photos and short videos each evening.

04

Deliver

Refrigerated transit, on-site install, lighting and drainage dressed before your doors open.

05

Stay

Our team remains on site for the first hour, handling refills, polish, and any last-minute guest requests.

In their words

What event teams say after the lights come up

Our 600-guest gala opened with a 2.4 m ice bar that the team finished carving in front of the press. Sorbitium treated the brief like their own launch event.

We've used Sorbitium on three product launches now. The pieces arrive on time, they look sharper than the renders, and the team is a pleasure to brief under pressure.

For our wedding we asked for a centrepiece that felt like frozen garden flowers. They delivered exactly that — and stayed through the first dance to keep it pristine.
