Five faces and an open bottom, so the inside of the far walls is visible through the near ones as a second and much deeper blue, and the object has a hollow you can see into without being able to reach it. The corners read as fine dark lines where two thicknesses of material overlap, and they are the only drawing on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFive Faces and an Open Underside\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wall against the width of the face is a deliberate proportion and it is what makes the colour work. Thinner and the blue goes weak and the corners disappear; thicker and the box becomes nearly opaque and there is no second wall to see. Holding that thickness even across five faces is the difficulty, because a thin patch goes bright and a thick one goes muddy, and on a translucent body both are visible from either side. The eight corners are where material gathers and they hold up the work, and the underside is brought up to the standard of the faces anybody will look at, because the hollow is on show from below. The top is set level with the walls so there is nothing to see down into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cobalt cube of this size dominates whatever room it is in, and nothing else in that room should be trying to. On a plain low table, a broad console, an island or the floor beside a pale chair it works; put it on a figured rug next to a coloured sofa and it simply loses. At 40cm the floor suits it as well as a surface does, where it is met from above and the paler top face joins the view. Light from above and behind is what drives colour through the walls and makes the far ones read; front light leaves it looking like a solid blue box. Give it a hard level surface, since a cube reports any lean against the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWall, Colour and Carrying It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. Size and colour are the variables: the cube can be made to other sizes, and the colour comes as this deep cobalt, a smoke, a green, an amber or clear. A closed six-sided version is available, which is a different object: the open underside is what lets you see the far walls. Carry it by two opposite faces with flat hands, never by an edge. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deep cobalt box of five faces open at the foot, it has a place in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\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\u003eHollow Cobalt Acrylic Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54023523729755,"sku":"C189","price":2174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C189.jpg?v=1792069703","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cobalt-blue-hollow-box-acrylic-cube-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
