The stool is a hexagonal prism with six flat vertical faces and a flat top. Cut into each face is a set of concentric oval rings standing in relief from the surface, centred on the face rather than aligned with its neighbours. The material is graded from top to bottom: near-clear where the top is, deepening steadily down each face to a strong saturated blue at the floor, with the transition slow enough that no boundary can be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRings Cut Into Six Flat Faces\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rings and the grade work against each other in a way that makes both legible. Each of the six faces carries its own set of concentric ovals standing in relief, centred on that face and not aligned with the neighbouring ones, so walking round the stool gives six separate patterns rather than one continuous scheme. Over that runs the grade: near-clear at the top, deepening steadily to a strong saturated blue at the floor, and slow enough that no boundary is findable. The result is that a ring at the top of a face is read as a shape in clear material and the same ring further down the face is read as a shape in strong colour, though it is the same relief throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 53cm it stands at seat height and is as useful beside a sofa as under a sitter. Six faces means it reads the same from any direction, which suits an open position in a room rather than a corner. The grade runs to its strongest blue at the floor, so a pale floor sets it off and a dark one hides the deepest part of it. It is heavy for its size and best placed once. Indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Faces, the Grade, and the Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The ring pattern is the slow part. Three decisions sit with you. The blue is offered in other colours, the grade can be run in the opposite direction so the strong tone sits at the top, and the number of rings on each face is open. The hexagonal plan is fixed. Span across the faces and overall height are quoted to whatever you need. Put the whole order in at once and where the blue starts on the faces carries across every piece. With the six vertical corners crated clear, two people can bring it in. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix ringed faces on a hexagonal prism place this stool with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; at seat height it works as one of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and the blue grade suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Cast Composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53971995230555,"sku":"J383","price":4117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J383.jpg?v=1791391774","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-graded-ringed-face-composite-hexagonal-stool-53cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
