Because it reclines, the division of colour is horizontal: the faces of the crown return blue and violet, with a magenta facet at one end, and every plane below that edge returns pale gold and cream, the change happening exactly on the line. Seen from above, the crown's blue and violet carry the piece; seen level, the warm sides take it over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Faceted Block That Lies Down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reclining block is harder to cut than an upright one and the reason is its long edge. On a standing form the faces can each be worked independently; here the crown and the sides have to meet along one line that runs the whole length of the piece, and that line has to be straight, because an edge that wanders is visible from any angle and cannot be corrected once the neighbouring planes are polished. It also decides the colour, since the colour changes on that line, so a wandering line means a wandering boundary between the cool planes and the warm ones. The bearing faces underneath are worked flat together rather than each on its own, so the block sits down solidly without needing anything under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong and low, this is a floor or plinth piece rather than a shelf one, and it asks to be walked past rather than faced: the colour changes along its length as the angle changes, which is a thing you notice while moving. A long sideboard, a broad plinth or the floor of a bay window all suit it. It is happy under a low light source, because a lamp at table height rakes along the crown and lifts the cool colours out of it. On a dark top the warm sides read strongly; on glass they disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Cut, the Coating and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The coating is chosen at order and decides the whole object: this cool-over-warm division, a single shift, a two-colour set, or an uncoated block reading as clear glass. Each cut is drawn for its own piece, which is how a longer flatter block or a steeper one with its long edge off-centre come from the same design, and the body itself can take a tint under the coating. It is moved lying as it stands, on its bearing faces with hands underneath, since taking the weight on a polished plane is how a coated face gets marked. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCool across its crown and warm along its sides, this reclining solid of flat faces belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e115cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54022604095835,"sku":"C044","price":5009.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C044.jpg?v=1792011245","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-reclining-faceted-gem-acrylic-sculpture-115cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
