The folds act on everything seen through them, so the block carries a shifting version of the room around it and the flat top reads as the one still part of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Faces Folded, One Face Left Flat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe folds are modelled into the mould rather than ground into the block afterwards, so each one runs the full height of the face and the arrises where they turn stay sharp. The block is then polished on all four faces, and the top is brought to a separate flat finish so it reads as a surface rather than as another fold. Colourless material shows every flaw, so the polishing is the long part of the build and it is done by hand from a coarse grade right through to a mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm it sits low, as a stool or as a side surface beside a chair, and its flat top will hold a cup, a candle or a small lamp. Put it where something is worth seeing through it, since the folds are only readable when there is a pattern or a light behind them, and against a plain wall it closes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Fold Depth, the Top, and Ordering More Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild times separate standard from bespoke: 3–4 weeks against 5–6. The folded face work sets the pace here. Three aspects can be specified. The fold depth can be increased or eased back, the resin is offered tinted, and the top can be dished instead of flat where the piece is to hold something round. Top span and block height are settled at order. Several ordered together are worked so that the run of the folds down each face agrees. The folded arrises of the block must be padded first, and then it is a one-person job to walk it in. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolded on all four faces, this clear stool belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, does daily work as part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and carries the cool clarity of 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColourless Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53990911279451,"sku":"J509","price":3577.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J509.jpg?v=1791389955","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-folded-face-cast-resin-block-stool-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
