{"product_id":"blue-translucent-rectangular-acrylic-box-sculpture-60cm","title":"Blue Translucent Rectangular Acrylic Box Sculpture - 60cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn upright rectangular acrylic sculpture, square in plan, made as a box of translucent blue panel with a closed top and offered in two thicknesses, a standard panel and a heavier one. The faces are a clear, even blue from top to foot, brightest through the middle and a shade deeper towards the outer corners, where the walls behind show through. The vertical corners show as fine bright lines rather than as heavy joints, which is the only detail on an otherwise plain object, and the whole form is translucent enough to read the wall behind it as a soft field of colour rather than as an image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Rectangle Where the Edges Are the Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is nowhere to hide on a shape like this. A curved or faceted body distracts the eye with what it does to light; a plain rectangle offers four flat faces and four vertical edges and nothing else, so the edges become the entire finish. Each has to be dead straight over the full height, and the two faces meeting there have to arrive at the same plane, because a corner that steps even slightly catches the light along its whole length and is the first thing anyone sees. The panel is translucent, which keeps the blue clear rather than solid and lets the corner lines read as bright rather than dark. The top is closed flush so nothing shows down inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain upright block is useful in the places a figurative piece is not. At 60cm it works at the end of a hall, beside a doorway, in an alcove, on a stair turn, or in twos to flank an opening, and it is happy on the floor as well as on a surface. It does its best work with light behind it or beside it, where the blue goes luminous and the corner lines light up; head-on light leaves it reading as a solid coloured box. Put it against a plain pale wall and give it a hard floor rather than a rug, since a soft surface lets it sit very slightly out of true and the eye checks a rectangle against the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePanel, Proportion and Lifting It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. Colour, proportion and surface are all open: it can be made in this blue, in another single tint or a smoke, or in clear panel with nothing on it, and the box itself can take another shape, a tall narrow column or a long, low bench-height mass, on a square or a rectangular plan. It is made in two thicknesses of panel, chosen at the order and each priced on its own. Lift it from low down on two opposite faces, never by an edge or a corner, where the panel is at its most vulnerable. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn upright blue box with nothing on it but its own fine, bright corners stands with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic 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\u003e5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH60 x L35 x W35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH60 x L35 x W35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranslucent Blue Acrylic Panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"5mm","offer_id":54022604587355,"sku":"C061","price":1767.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm","offer_id":54371082797403,"sku":"C062","price":2107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C061-C062.jpg?v=1792160644","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-translucent-rectangular-acrylic-box-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
