{"product_id":"frosted-striated-leaf-resin-sculpture-59-78cm","title":"Frosted Striated Leaf Resin Sculpture - 59\/78cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis resin sculpture is a leaf form in frosted material, offered at two heights, one per order. Each is a tall blade curving to one side and drawn to a fine point that curls at the tip. The whole face is striated in close wavy bands, the outer edge is scalloped into a shallow saw, and the colour runs from a warm honey at the foot up through cream to a near-white translucence at the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClose Wavy Bands and a Scalloped Outer Edge\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree treatments meet on one small object. The striations run across the blade rather than along it, dozens of shallow wavy ridges stacked one above the next, and because they are not parallel they gather and part like the grain in a shell. The outer edge then takes those same bands and turns them into a scallop, so the silhouette is a fine repeating saw rather than a clean curve, and that edge is what the eye follows from the foot to the tip. The finish over both is a full frost, matt everywhere, which means the piece holds a soft even light and casts no highlight at all. Colour is carried in the material and is warmest at the base, where the mass is greatest, clearing as the blade thins. One is broader and its curve is more open; the other is narrower and turns more tightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are surface pieces and both want height under them rather than around them. At either height they read on a console, a credenza, a sideboard, a reception desk or a wide shelf, and their footing is small so they take very little room. What they need is a plain background, because the scalloped edge is a fine outline and it disappears against anything patterned. The frost means they can take a downlight without glaring, which is unusual in this material, and they do well in a group of two or three at different heights. Neither is heavy enough to be left where it can be knocked. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Heights, the Frost and the Warmth at the Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. The two sizes were designed to stand together, so most orders take both. They are separate objects at separate prices rather than one form scaled, and the proportions above are the difference. On the finish: the full frost is standard, and a polished version is made, which turns the striations into a bright ripple and reads much harder; a half-and-half is also made, frosted on the face and polished on the scalloped edge alone. On the colour: this honey to white run is standard, and a green to white, a grey to white and a plain colourless version are all offered, with the depth of the warm tone adjustable. Neither size comes with a base, since a flat foot is cast in, and a marble block is made to either on request. Each is boxed standing with the point in its own moulded pocket, since the tip is the part that would suffer, and one person can carry both. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA leaf drawn down to striations and a scalloped edge leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the curling blade itself belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the honey clearing to white through the frost joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e59cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH59 x W26.6 x D19cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH78.3 x W45 x D22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"H59 x W26.6 x D19","offer_id":53956655841627,"sku":"Z667-59CM","price":1754.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"H78.3 x W45 x D22","offer_id":53956656791899,"sku":"Z667-78CM","price":2227.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z667.jpg?v=1790779379","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/frosted-striated-leaf-resin-sculpture-59-78cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
