{"product_id":"blue-broad-folded-ribbed-furl-resin-sculpture-76cm","title":"Blue Broad-Folded Ribbed Furl Resin Sculpture - 76cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA resin sculpture furling two sheets together from a single foot on a black marble block. One sheet sweeps across from a feathered edge at the left and runs out at the right into a long thin horn that curls upward; the other climbs to a tall sharp point, with a rounded lobe and a curled tip leaning away to the left. The ribbing is broad and rounded, so the surface presents folds rather than a run of lines. The colour is a clear sky blue, deepest through the foot and the sweeping front sheet and clearing at every edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBroad Folds Instead of Fine Lines\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFold depth and rib pitch are two ways of doing the same job and they do it differently. A close-ribbed surface breaks light into many small highlights, which reads as shimmer and makes a sheet look thin; a few broad folds catch large soft highlights instead, and the sheet reads as something with body to it. This piece is worked the second way: rounded folds run the length of both sheets, sweeping across the front one and climbing the other to its tall point, and the colour gathers where they are deepest, through the foot and along the front sheet, clearing to almost nothing at the tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 76cm including its stone this sits at console and sideboard height, and the folds want a raking light rather than a direct one: they are broad enough to hold a soft highlight and a hard beam flattens them. A hall console, a sideboard, a dining-room shelf or a wide cabinet top all work. Set it so the points at the top are clear of anything above them, since they lean apart and read as an opening gesture that a low shelf closes off. It reads well against a mid-tone wall, since the blue holds its own without a pale field behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFolds, Colour and How to Hold It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. Fold depth, the number of points and the height are all drawn per commission, so a version with a single point or one worked in fine ribbing rather than broad folds both come from this design. It can be ordered in this sky blue or in amber, in smoke grey, or graded from a solid foot out to clear points. The block can be this black marble or a pale one. Take it by the foot and never by a point or by the horn. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo sky blue sheets of resin furled from one foot on a black marble block, the furl belongs alongside 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\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue 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":54024188199259,"sku":"C228","price":2647.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C228.jpg?v=1792069746","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-broad-folded-ribbed-furl-resin-sculpture-76cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
