{"product_id":"amber-cross-jointed-acrylic-standing-frame-170cm","title":"Amber Cross-Jointed Acrylic Standing Frame - 170cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo posts in pale amber acrylic carry this standing frame on flat rectangular base plates, and a single rail runs between them, passing through a cross-lap cut at the head of each post and projecting a short way beyond both. There is no infill of any kind, so what you get is an outline rather than a panel. It is priced as one frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Rail Passed Through the Head of Each Post\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cross-lap is the whole of the joint, and in a colourless-bodied amber it has nowhere to hide. Each post is cut through square to take the rail, and the rail is cut back to the same depth in the other direction, so the two halves interlock and finish flush on all four faces. Any slack shows as a line of light at the shoulder, and any tightness whitens the amber along the cut, so the fit has to be right first time. The base plates are thick enough to hold the posts upright without bracing, which is what keeps the outline clean at floor level. All six faces of each plate are polished, the one lying on the floor included, since a translucent body shows its own underside from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn outline rather than a panel means this divides a space without closing it, so it earns its keep in an entrance, at the end of a run of cupboards, or across a corner of a large room. Amber wants light behind it: with a window or a lamp beyond, the posts and rail glow along their whole length, and against a dark wall they read as a drawn line. Two frames set a short way apart make a colonnade. Keep the base plates clear of a rug edge so both stand level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpan, Post Spacing and Ordering More Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. Span and post spacing are set to your opening, and the rail can be run past the posts by as much or as little as you want. Height is cut to order. Other tints are drawn from the same sheet stock and a colourless version is available. A second rail can be added nearer the floor, which turns the outline into a two-bar frame. Posts, rail and plates travel flat as four items and assemble on site through the cross-laps, so nothing arrives at full height and a normal stair is enough. One person can carry the parts. Two are wanted for the assembly, since the rail has to be entered into both posts together. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rail passed through the head of each post belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; an amber outline rather than a panel leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a divider that leaves a room open joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmber Tinted Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54015814599003,"sku":"Y109","price":3103.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y109.jpg?v=1790884972","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-cross-jointed-acrylic-standing-frame-170cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
