One is a tetrahedron with three dark stones of different sizes gathered at its corners; the other is a low triangular prism holding a large rust-brown stone beside a darker grey one. The stones are printed rather than quarried, so their faceting is crisper than natural fracture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAngular Stone Held Against Flat Acrylic Faces\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contrast is the whole idea: every acrylic face is dead flat and optically clear, and every stone form is rough and faceted, so the two materials share no quality at all. The stones are set at the corners and along the edges rather than centred, three in the tetrahedron and two in the low prism. Because the acrylic is clear, a stone on the far face is seen through the near one and appears doubled and displaced. The rust-brown stone is the one warm note in the set, and it sits in front of the grey one so the two read against each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn its long marble base this is a floor arrangement rather than a table piece, and the base alone takes more room than most sideboards give. It suits a hall, a gallery wall, a showroom floor or a wide landing, and it wants to be walked round, because the doubling of the stones through the acrylic changes completely with the angle. A plain pale floor and a plain wall let the stones carry; a patterned floor is read straight through the acrylic and competes with them. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrinted Stone, and the Base Included in the Price\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The stones are printed forms, not quarried rock, so a repeat order can carry the same stone geometry rather than only a similar one. The marble base is part of the price, so what arrives is the complete arrangement rather than two prisms to stand on something of your own. The prism shapes, the number of stones in each and their colours, black, grey or rust, are all set at order, and a single prism can be made where two are too much for the room. The base is placed and levelled first, and two people then set the prisms on it, handling the acrylic by its edges in clean gloves. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrisms holding printed stone on one marble base belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; flat clear faces against rough stone lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a floor arrangement to walk round joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric 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\u003eTetrahedron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH48cm, W77.7cm, D72cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTriangular Prism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH31.5cm, W40.7cm, D49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170 x 90 x 10cm, Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcrylic with Printed Stone and Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956652040539,"sku":"Y077","price":8438.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y077.jpg?v=1790943123","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-acrylic-prisms-with-printed-stone-on-marble-base-170cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
