Across the top the two are joined by a bridge, a thin clear plate spanning the gap with a row of cubes stacked along it, so the whole piece reads as a gateway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Towers Built a Cube at a Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStacking this high without a frame inside means every joint carries what is above it, so the cubes are bonded face to face rather than edge to edge and the offsets are kept small enough that each cube stays over the ones below. That is the structural half. The visual half pulls the other way: too little offset and the tower reads as a plain column with lines on it, too much and it reads as a mistake, so the offsets are distributed by eye rather than to a rule. Each cube also refracts what is behind it, and a tower of them turns a background into a field of small displaced images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo stacked towers and the bridge between them want to be seen against something worth refracting: a window, a run of books, a patterned wall. At 110cm they stand at standing eye level, so this belongs in a hall, a stair landing or a corner of a large room rather than on a table. Raking light picks the offsets out, each cube edge catching in turn; a flat wash from the front loses them. Leave room on both sides so the gap under the bridge reads as an opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTower Height, Cube Size and What Arrives Assembled\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Tower height is open, and changing it alters the proportion of the gateway considerably. Cube size is open, and changing it changes the grain of the whole thing rather than just its detail. The bridge can be left off so the two towers stand free. A tint can be introduced into some or all of the cubes. The piece arrives assembled, since the bonds between the cubes are not site work, so the route in has to clear its full height. Two people are wanted, taken at the base. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCubes set proud of their neighbours belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a bridge of clear cubes on a thin plate leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a gateway of refracted light for a stair landing 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Acrylic Cubes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016238944603,"sku":"Y149","price":9310.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y149.jpg?v=1790887344","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-stacked-cube-acrylic-twin-tower-sculpture-110cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
