{"product_id":"blue-folded-ribbon-resin-sculpture-83cm","title":"Blue Folded Ribbon Resin Sculpture - 83cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flat band folding back on itself the whole way up, each turn sitting clear of the one below it, and opening at the crown into a wide trumpet. Blue right through the ribbon, darkest where the folds double and clearing toward the trumpet at the top. It comes with a black block, cut close under the foot of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Band That Folds Rather Than Turns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolding is not turning, and the difference is what this design is for: a turn keeps the band's face toward you the whole way round, and a fold presents its edge at every reversal. The edges are what the eye counts. Folding a band back on itself puts two thicknesses in the eye's path at every turn, and a tinted body reports each of them separately. Polished on both faces of the band, including the inside of every fold, which is most of the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits a console or a wide shelf, set where the trumpet is at or just above the eye. Give it a pale ground. Blue against a dark wall closes the folds into one mass. Use two sources. A folded band takes a shadow into every turn, and one lamp fills only half of them. What takes the eye is the trumpet at the top, and the folds are found on the way back down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdding a Fold, and Two Parcels to Stack\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBespoke commissions take 5–6 weeks; standard pieces take 3–4. Ask us to add a fold, to open the trumpet further, or to cut the block in another stone. Add a fold and the ribbon gains height, because the turns are spaced to a set pitch instead of being squeezed into the rise they have. The same ribbon is made in a green carrying gold leaf suspended through the body. Ribbon and block are packed separately and stacked where the piece will stand. Two people, one at the trumpet and one at the foot. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue band folding back and forth up to a trumpet leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the folded casting belongs among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and further pieces to meet at eye height are 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\u003e77cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17cm\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 Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54145949073755,"sku":"Z428","price":1820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z428.jpg?v=1790774088","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-folded-ribbon-resin-sculpture-83cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
