{"product_id":"amber-split-peel-sphere-resin-sculpture-65cm","title":"Amber Split Peel Sphere Resin Sculpture - 65cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sphere of amber resin, smooth and glossy, whose skin splits open near the top and curls back in two thin, pointed peels, like a fruit being opened or a shell unfurling. The colour deepens from a light gold at the crown to a dark brown at the foot, and the curling peels show the thinness of the skin against the depth of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Sphere Opening Along a Split\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sphere is perfect and whole except in one place, and that one opening is the whole idea. The split runs across the crown and the skin curls back from it in two peels, thin enough to glow amber against the deeper body beneath. The contrast between the solid, heavy sphere and the fine, curling skin gives the piece its tension, and the eye goes straight to the opening. The colour is graded top to bottom, so the sphere looks lit from above, and the polish on its surface doubles every light in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 65cm it can be set on the floor beside a sofa or a chair, or on a low table, a console or a plinth, in a sitting room, a hall or an office. It is round, so it can be seen from any side, though the split reads best from the front. With a window behind, the amber glows; on a dark floor its brown foot deepens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour, Split and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The sphere can be made in green, blue, red or clear, and the split can be drawn longer or with a third peel. A clear sphere shows the split as a line of light, and a red one reads like a ripe fruit. The sphere can also be made at another diameter, for a table or for the floor. It comes in a padded crate, and being solid it needs two people to lift it into place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sphere whose skin splits and curls back belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; amber deepening from gold to brown leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a glowing ball for a sitting room floor 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\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmber-Tinted Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209614152027,"sku":"X287","price":7358.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X287.jpg?v=1790959414","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-split-peel-sphere-resin-sculpture-65cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
