{"product_id":"amber-faceted-form-on-metal-column-sculpture-195cm","title":"Amber Faceted Form on Metal Column Sculpture - 195cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA faceted body rising from a narrow foot and splaying at the top, standing on a satin gold cylinder almost as tall as the casting it carries. Amber at the foot lifts to a pale yellow at the top, so the piece lightens as it rises. An electroplated stainless steel column in a brushed gold finish is supplied, and it is very nearly as tall as the casting standing on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen the Support Is Part of the Work\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting the same kind of body on a plated metal column rather than stone makes the support part of the composition instead of something the piece merely stands on. Most pieces of this kind sit on stone that is meant to disappear. Here the column is finished in a brushed, satin gold and is half the height of the piece, so it is part of what is being looked at. The column is metal and the body is resin, and the join is the one place where two materials have to agree about a flat plane. The casting is polished and the column brushed to a satin gold, so the piece has two different kinds of shine stacked on one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, a foyer or a wide landing, where the column is read as part of the work rather than as what holds it up. Plain behind it. The satin gold column softens whatever is behind it into a warm sheen. Light from above runs down the column and lifts the amber; from below it does neither. From the door the column registers before the casting does, which is unusual and is why this one stands on metal at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReplating the Column, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. The column is plated in another finish, the amber is deepened, and the casting is cut down against it. Change the plating and the amber has to be re-chosen, because the two are seen in one glance. Column and casting travel apart and are married on site, the column levelled first. Two people. The plated surface marks, and it should be handled gloved until it is standing. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA faceted amber form raised on a metal column belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the amber-to-yellow body joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more for a foyer is in 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\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 50 x 95cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin on Electroplated Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54102710681947,"sku":"Z425","price":6273.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z425.jpg?v=1790877140","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-faceted-form-on-metal-column-sculpture-195cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
