The material runs a warm grey-brown, darkest through the fullest part of the curve, and the whole surface is polished. It is set on a square block of polished black marble, which is part of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Line That Has No Back\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curve drawn on paper has a right way round. A curve made solid does not, and that is the difficulty here rather than the shaping. Walk around this piece and the S reverses, opens, closes and at one point flattens to a bar, and every one of those is a view someone will have. There is no back to hide a compromise in. So the section is turned as it rises rather than held flat to one plane, which means the ribbon presents an edge to you from wherever you stand and never its full width. The flat bar view, which is the one that kills a piece like this, only exists for a few degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 81cm on its stone it reads as a full-height object on a console or a sideboard, or as a floor piece on a low plinth. Give it room to be walked past rather than a niche, since the turn is the whole of it. The polish picks up whatever is in front of it, so a cluttered opposite wall arrives on the surface; a plain one lets the smoke in the material show, which is what the colour is for. Keep the approach to it open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Curve, the Finish, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. The S is drawn tighter or drawn out, the head is rolled further or left open, and the smoke is lightened toward clear or deepened toward brown. A frosted version is made and is a matt object of the same line, which loses the depth of the material and gains the edges. It is also cast at other heights, including a tabletop one. It travels upright in one braced case with the head sleeved and the marble flat beneath, and two people lift it by the foot. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA line drawn in three dimensions is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the smoky body is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a piece read in profile is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 25 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Smoke Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54069536096603,"sku":"X247","price":2429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X247.jpg?v=1790958412","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/smoke-curved-ribbon-on-marble-resin-sculpture-81cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
