The two meet at a hard line about a third of the way up, so the piece is two materials and two surfaces stacked. A marble block is supplied. The gold foot above it is not a support but the bottom of the sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Surfaces Doing Opposite Things\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo finishes on one object, made to disagree, are what this piece is built on. The clear bulbs are polished until they hold sharp highlights and show the room through them, while the brushed gold foot below softens every reflection into a warm sheen, so the eye reads glass above and metal below. The join is deliberately not disguised: a soft transition would make the foot look like a base, and the point of it is that it is the bottom of the sculpture. Each bulb is drawn to a different swell, so the column steps up irregularly rather than repeating one shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, a landing or a formal entrance, standing on the floor. Something dark behind it lifts the clear bulbs; on a pale wall only the gold foot reads. Light from the side climbs the column a bulb at a time, while the brushed foot holds a soft glow whatever the light does. The bright column carries and the gold foot anchors it, which is why the piece reads as more height than it has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Frosted Finish, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The bulbs can be frosted or tinted, the foot finished in another metal, and a deeper block cut. Tint the bulbs and the gold foot reads less sharply against them, because a clear body over gold takes some of its colour from the foot. Two parts, one crate: the block is placed and the piece set down into position afterwards. One person can move it, taken by the metal foot rather than the bulbs. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA brushed gold foot rising into resin belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the casting it carries sits within our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more for a formal entrance is in 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 x 20 x 5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin on Brushed Gold Metal and Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104278106459,"sku":"Z358","price":3375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z358.jpg?v=1790876409","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-stacked-bulb-column-on-gold-foot-resin-sculpture-155cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
