The upright block has its vertical faces chamfered so the plan is a polygon rather than a square, with the foot cut back on one side. The wedge is a slab standing on edge with a vertical back, a flat bottom and a single long slope from the top of the back down to the front. Both are frosted acrylic throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChamfered Faces Against One Long Slope\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe material is the same in both and the finish is what makes them work. Acrylic frosted right through goes to a satin white that is not quite opaque, so an edge does not draw a hard line: it reads as a soft change of tone from one plane to the next, and each plane holds a different value depending on where the light is. On the block the chamfers put five or six of those values side by side around the block, and the angled cut at the foot lifts one corner so the mass looks lighter than a block of that section has any right to. The wedge does the opposite with a single cut. One long plane, one vertical, one horizontal, nothing else, and the slope carries a gradient from pale at the thin end to grey where the material is at its deepest. Small internal cloudings are visible near the top of both and are characteristic of the cast material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are desk and shelf objects. At 24cm the upright takes almost no room and the wedge little more, so a desk, a bookshelf, a hall table or a mantelpiece all suit them, and they are heavy enough for their size to sit without a pad. Both want light from one side rather than from overhead, because a side light is what separates the planes and a downlight flattens them into one white shape. Against a white wall they nearly disappear, so a mid or dark ground behind is worth arranging. They also read well grouped in threes along one shelf. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a Version, and the Finish Options on Both\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. The two versions are priced separately because they are different objects and not one design at two sizes, so check the picker before ordering rather than assuming a size step. Beyond the version, the finish is the decision: frosted throughout as here, frosted on the faces with the cut edges polished clear, which gives a bright line along every arris, or polished clear all over, which turns both into very different pieces. A tint can be carried in the material, and grey, bronze and a pale blue are all made. Plan sizes are held as standard on both versions because the proportions are the design, though either is made at half or double scale to order. Each is boxed on all six faces in a fitted case, since a frosted face marks more easily than a polished one, and one person can carry either. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComparable forms sit in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eour abstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, the acrylic in it belongs with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eour acrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the cut planes go with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003eour geometric 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\u003eUpright Block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH24 x W18.7 x D18.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWedge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH23 x W25 x D25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne Version Per Order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Upright Block","offer_id":53956660330843,"sku":"X252-V1","price":1957.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wedge","offer_id":53956660789595,"sku":"X252-V2","price":2564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X252.jpg?v=1790958431","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/frosted-angle-cut-acrylic-block-sculpture-24cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
