Each block carries its own dimensions, which is why they are listed one by one rather than as a set of four identical pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Blocks Under One Case, Each Measured Separately\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharring timber is a finish that cannot be repeated exactly, and that is the reason there are three of them rather than one: laid side by side, the differences between the three become the point instead of a fault. Each is taken to the same depth of char and then brushed back until the grain stands proud, which is what stops the black reading as paint. The woven block is made from strip bent round a form and closed at the corners, and it is sized to sit level with the timber three so the tops of all four read as one line under the case. The case itself is bonded at its corners and polished after bonding, so the joints are not the first thing you see through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA case of this length is a hall or a living room piece, and it wants to be approached from the front: the four blocks are arranged as a row and the row is what you are looking at. The marble base plate gives it a visual weight the acrylic does not, so it sits comfortably on a console or a low run of cabinets rather than on the floor. Light from above through the case is what separates the charred blocks from the woven one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlock Count, Base Stone and What Arrives in How Many Boxes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. Block count is set at order and the mix is yours: all four charred, all four woven, or any combination. The char can be taken to a deep black or brushed back to a grey, and the woven block is offered in this dark strip, a brass or a stainless one. The base plate comes in this marble or a darker stone, and the case can be made open at the back. Overall size is cut to order. Case, blocks and base plate travel in separate boxes and go together on site in a few minutes; the case is a two-person lift and the base plate is the heaviest single piece. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree charred blocks and one woven belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a basket woven from dark metal strip leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long case for a run of low cabinets joins 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\u003eCase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH49 x W160 x D42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber Block 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH37.4 x W25.5 x D34.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWoven Metal Block 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH38.2 x W25.7 x D32.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber Block 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH37.7 x W24.9 x D33.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTimber Block 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH37.4 x W24.5 x D33.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Acrylic Case with Charred Timber, Woven Metal and Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016828277083,"sku":"Y230","price":7628.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y230.jpg?v=1790890659","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-acrylic-display-case-with-four-charred-blocks-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
