CELEBRITY spoon-bender Uri Geller has turned to Clitheroe firm Ultraframe to help him construct a huge glass pyramid in the garden of his Hertfordshire mansion.
The wacky psychic, who appeared on last year's 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here', conjured up a weird and wonderful "well-being pyramid" constructed from cutting edge Conservaglass glass manufactured at Ultraframe's Clitheroe works.
The new age glass uses advanced technology to cut out dangerous ultra-violet sun rays, which cause skin cancer, while keeping the temperature inside the nine-metre-square structure the same throughout summer and winter.
Uri Geller, who studied art under famed Spanish painter Salvador Dali, said: "Pyramids are a source of mystery and possess a certain energy. Light is also good for people and brings a unique ambience into our lives.
"There is no better way to feel well than by absorbing beautiful sunshine.
"I designed the well-being pyramid in conjunction with Ultraframe over six months. This pyramid is especially good, because it is made with space age glass.
"I visited Clitheroe several times while perfecting the structure and liked the area and the people very much."
Uri believes the pyramid form is both mystically potent and mathematically significant, with the power to refract light and break it down into its component colours and wavelengths. And Uri said he hoped to heal sick children in the new structure.
"I believe children suffering from cancer could find a cure in these structures, as well as people suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder," he said.
Helen Fothergill, marketing director at Ultraframe, said: "Uri was a perfect design partner. He realised there is no more effective way of allowing natural light into your life than through a conservatory.
"Immersing oneself in light doesn't just enhance a living space, it can also enhance health."
Ultraframe is internationally renowned for the design and manufacture of conservatory systems, with over 300 international patents. Conservaglass can increase conservatory usage over a typical UK summer by up to 70 hours per month, compared to standard double glazing, the company claims.
