The entire surface is worked in a fine diamond lattice, raised rather than incised, so the light catches it in rows. The colour is graded: a deep red-orange at the foot, saturated but still glowing, amber along the edges of the rising forms, honey through the middle and clear at the edges of both flares. It stands on a squared black marble base, narrower than the piece above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Lattice That Changes With Distance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lattice is what makes the piece slow to make, and its point is that it behaves differently at different distances. Across a room it reads as a soft, glinting texture over glassy resin; from an arm away it resolves into rows of small raised diamonds, each catching a separate highlight. Getting that to work means the lattice has to follow the curve rather than being laid over it, so the pattern stretches and compresses as the form furls and no two areas carry the same spacing. On the flares, where the material is thinnest and closest to clear, the raised pattern is all that stops the edge disappearing. The amber is in the resin itself rather than applied over it, deepest at the foot and drawn up the outer edge of the climbing blade and through the curl, while the broad faces run clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 102cm on its base this is a floor or low-plinth piece, and its upright habit fits places a broader sculpture cannot: beside a chair, in the return of a hall, at the foot of a stair, against a pier between windows. It should be lit from the side or slightly behind. That is the light that rakes across the lattice and lifts it; light from straight ahead washes the texture flat and leaves only the amber. Amber is also the tint that argues most with its surroundings, so it belongs near warm timber and away from a cool grey scheme, where it can look orange rather than golden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAmber, Lattice and Bringing It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. Colour and surface are both specified: this amber grading, a smoke, a green, a cool clear body, or a solid tint with no grading at all. The lattice can be made coarser or finer, or dropped for a smooth polished surface, which is a completely different object at the same size. The number of furls and how far each opens is drawn per piece. Marble is offered in this black, a white or a grey, and the base can be made wider for a piece intended to stand in traffic. It is lifted by the thick body at the foot, never by a flare, which is the thinnest material on the piece. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo furled forms in amber, netted in a raised lattice and set on black marble, are gathered with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e96cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 35 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54022608159067,"sku":"C123","price":4128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C123.jpg?v=1792013713","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-furled-leaf-resin-sculpture-on-marble-102cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
