Following up from the link below I came to: http://www.croatianhistory.net/etf/lace.html
There is this about the large dome: Lace Tent is an interesting project initiated by Akiko Sato, a japanese artist (photographer). The tent measures 3x2 meters. In order to finish it, ten local lace-makers worked for two monts, six hours a day. The project has been supported by the Embassy of Japan in Croatia and by the City of Lepoglava, and the project has been realized in 2007, in the presence of H.E. Mr Shirakawa, ambassador of Japan in Croatia, and his wife. One lace tent is kept in the City Museum in Lepoglava, and another in Japan.

Hello Mark, I think that you were doing the same than me: googling for Lepoglava. Lepoglava is in Croatia. "Cipke" means lace in many Slovak languages. Have a look at this interesting video about this the lace in Lepoglava. Scrolling down the page you will see the huge dome pillow. I suppose they are doing a kind of "lace marathon"... all lacing at the same time in a big project... http://www.croatianhistory.net/etf/lace.html Thanks to Laurie Waters for the information in your blog. Although I don't buy lace antiques, I love looking at them and, if I like them, try to find out something more about them. And this is the case of Lepoglava lace.
