What makes it more than a set of boxes is the tint: it begins colourless at one end and deepens along the run to a strong blue at the other, so the compartments at one end are almost invisible and those at the other read as solid blocks of colour with the shelf lines drawn through them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Tint That Deepens Along the Run of Compartments\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA grade that runs along a unit rather than up it has to be planned before a single panel is cut, because every panel takes its colour from where it will finally stand. Panels are therefore cut in sequence from the graded stock and kept in order, and the vertical divisions are the critical ones: a vertical in the wrong position shows immediately as a jump in colour where the eye expects a step. Each compartment is also read through its neighbours, so the tint of a panel three along contributes to what you see, and the grade has to be judged as a whole rather than panel by panel. Every edge is polished so each opening draws its own line. Every unit grades slightly differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits well below the eye, which suits it to a wall under a window, a run beneath a television, or a low division between two parts of a room. The grade is read along the length, so it wants a position you walk the length of rather than face head on. Put the pale end toward the brighter part of the room and the blue end where the light falls off, and the whole run seems to be lit from one side. What goes in the compartments will be read through blue at one end, so keep those pieces simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompartment Count, Grade Direction and Flat Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. Compartment count and proportion can be changed, and the unit is offered in other lengths. The grade can be run in the opposite direction, or vertically from top to floor instead of along the length, and other colours are drawn from the same stock. A colourless version without the grade is available. Height can be raised to a console height where that suits the room. Delivery is flat: the panels travel as a numbered set and are bonded on arrival in the sequence they were cut, which is what keeps the grade continuous and is why the numbering matters. Two people are wanted for the assembly. The panels are a one-person carry. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tint deepening along the compartments belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; open boxes in two ranks lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and blue compartments beneath a television join 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\u003e46cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Blue Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003984630107,"sku":"Y098","price":5601.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y098.jpg?v=1790884958","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-to-blue-graded-open-acrylic-shelving-unit-140cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
