It is broad for its height, and the material is dichroic: each plane returns a different colour depending on where you stand, so the same face can read teal from one side of a room and amber from the other, with pink and green appearing along the edges where two planes meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Cut Mass Returning Four Colours\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDichroic acrylic carries its colour on one face of the sheet, and on a faceted form that constraint sets the whole build. Every plane has to be cut and assembled with the coated face outward, and because the planes meet at angles rather than at right angles there is no repeated setting to work to - each one is oriented on its own and checked before it is fixed. The arrises are where the work is. Flame is out of the question on a coated sheet, so each one is ground and then taken up through finer and finer grades until it reads as sharp as cut crystal, and there are dozens of them on a form this size. No two of these return colour in the same sequence, because the plane angles are set by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a piece that needs people to move past it rather than sit in front of it, so it belongs in a hall, at the turn of a stair, or in the open part of a large room. At 160cm it reads at standing height and does not need a plinth. A pale floor doubles what it does, since the planes throw colour downward as well as returning it. Daylight from two directions is better than one strong source: with a single light most of the planes go dark and only one or two carry colour at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the Colour Moves, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The facet arrangement can be drawn to your own scheme and the piece made to another height on the same proportions. A plain tinted acrylic is available if the colour shift is too active for the room, and a clear version reads as cut crystal instead. It arrives as one piece in a fitted crate with every plane sleeved separately, because the coated faces mark more readily than uncoated acrylic and an arris will not take a rub. Two people are needed and the lift is from beneath the widest plane, not by an arris. Nothing but water should ever meet the coated faces. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne cut mass returning four colours belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; planes coated to shift as you move lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a crystal to stand where people pass joins 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\u003e160cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e137cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Coated Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003699679579,"sku":"Y036","price":9585.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y036.jpg?v=1790883273","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/iridescent-faceted-gem-form-acrylic-sculpture-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
