The rings widen quickly above the foot and keep close to one width through the middle, before they draw in again in ever wider ledges toward the top, so the form reads as a globe gathered onto a small foot of its own. Every ring carries the same pale satin frost. At 60cm it is a floor piece, at home in a hall or on a wide landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA White Globe of Stacked Frosted Rings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this scale the discs are wide enough to show the slightest inaccuracy at their edges, so each one is cut, trued and frosted before it joins the others, and the frost is matched from ring to ring in daylight rather than under a workshop lamp. The narrow foot carries the whole globe, so the bottom rings are bonded with particular care and the base is faced dead flat. Through the middle the rings run close to one width, which is where an uneven step would show most, and the profile is checked against a template on every side. The crown goes on last, dead on the axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding on the floor of a hall, a landing or a living room corner, the globe holds daylight in its frosting and gives it back as a soft white glow, so it suits a space with a window nearby. Its breadth carries across a room, and anyone standing beside it sees the crown plainly. Stone, timber or a plain rug all suit it, and a dark floor brings the white rings forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize, Finish and Moving a Large Globe\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. A tint or a clear finish can replace the white frost, and the globe can be made at another height, its swell fuller or slimmer, with the crown kept, widened or left off. A plinth can be made to lift it for a gallery or a reception. It travels in a crate with every ring cushioned and is unpacked where it will stand, taken from the crate by its foot rather than its crown. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrosted white rings stacked to a near-sphere belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a globe that swells above a narrow foot leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a soft white floor piece for a daylit 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\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\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234829619547,"sku":"Y201-4","price":3915.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y201-4-60.jpg?v=1790889931","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/frosted-white-stepped-globe-acrylic-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
