{"product_id":"blue-graded-nested-cube-acrylic-side-table-55cm","title":"Blue Graded Nested Cube Acrylic Side Table - 55cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis acrylic side table is square in plan. It is built as an open cube - four upright faces and a solid top, no base - and inside it stands a second cube of narrower span, reaching most of the way to the underside of the top. Both are blue acrylic graded from deep at the top to almost clear at the floor, so looking through the outer faces the inner cube reads as a second set of blue lines set in from the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Cube Standing Inside Another\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo graded cubes inside one another only work if the grades line up. Each of the eight faces is cut from the same sheet run and set with the deep end uppermost, and the inner cube's grade is matched to the height it actually stands at rather than to the outer one, so the two colours arrive at the same depth at the same level. Get that wrong and the inner cube reads as a darker object floating in a lighter one. The corners are mitred rather than butted, which puts a 45-degree joint down each vertical edge, and that is why the corners of the finished table read as the deepest blue on it. Every joint reads as a crease rather than a seam, so the cube looks folded rather than assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cube with a solid top and open sides gives a useful surface and a visible interior, so it works beside a chair where the inner cube can be seen rather than pushed against a wall. At 55cm it is at the upper end for a side table and matches the arm of most sofas. The graded blue is worth having over a pale floor, since the clear feet let the floor read through and the whole piece appears to sit lighter than its size suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Two Grades, the Inner Cube, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pieces take 3–4 weeks and bespoke commissions 5–6. The inner cube can be brought up higher or left out for a plain open cube, and the grade is available in other colours or reversed. The plan can be cut wider on the same construction. Both cubes are made up here and the table arrives ready to stand, since the mitred corners are finished to a standard that cannot be reached on site. The crate is square and bulky rather than heavy, and one person can carry it, though two make it easier through a doorway. Nothing needs doing on arrival beyond removing the film from eight faces. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne blue cube standing inside another belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; mitred corners that read as creases point to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and an open-sided cube beside a chair joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Blue Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001622516059,"sku":"Y022","price":3442.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y022.jpg?v=1790882372","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-graded-nested-cube-acrylic-side-table-55cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
