{"product_id":"multi-colour-faceted-monolith-acrylic-sculpture-222cm","title":"Multi-Colour Faceted Monolith Acrylic Sculpture - 222cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single upright mass cut into flat planes that meet at sharp edges, broader at the shoulder than at the foot. An iridescent film covers every face, so no face has one colour: amber and gold glow through the body, a deep red runs down one shoulder, green and violet catch in the narrow facets above, and a plane that is gold from one step turns another colour from the next. Round the sides and the foot it clears to almost colourless. It stands on its own base of facets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Standing Stone That Changes Colour Face by Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIridescent film shows a different colour at every angle, and a flat plane gives it one angle at a time. That is the reason for the facets: each plane is a separate window on the film, so the monolith breaks into a patchwork of colours rather than a single sheen. The planes are cut to different sizes deliberately, since equal facets would make the colour change evenly and the effect would read as pattern. At this size a person looks up into it, and the planes near the top catch the light of the room in colours the planes near the floor do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 222cm a piece this tall belongs in a double-height hall, an atrium or a reception with a ceiling well above it and floor to walk round it. Keep the wall behind it plain and dark, since every colour it gives comes from the light around it. Spotlights from two directions keep the colours shifting; a single flat wash of light stills them. From across a large space it reads as one bright stone, and the facets resolve as you approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Facets, the Film and a Lifting Plan\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. Three points are open at the order. The facets can be cut finer or broader, the film can be picked for warmer or cooler colours, and the silhouette can be drawn slimmer at the shoulder. A finer cut gives more changes of colour over the same height and a quieter surface overall. A piece of this size needs a lifting plan agreed with the site before it arrives, and it is raised by its broad faces near the foot, never by the shoulder. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere a form is pure planes and colour it sits with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the material ties it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and the cut faces to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculpture\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\u003e222cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIridescent Faceted Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54208183468379,"sku":"C055","price":10401.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C055.jpg?v=1792160592","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-faceted-monolith-acrylic-sculpture-222cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
