It is a long, low box, suited to a piece that runs wide rather than tall. The glass is a light smoke rather than a dark tint, so what is under it keeps its own colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Cover That Keeps a Piece in View\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cover has one job, to protect without hiding, and the smoke in the glass is the choice that decides how well it does it. Clear glass reflects the room so strongly that the piece beneath can disappear behind the reflections; a light smoke cuts the reflections back and lets the eye pass through to what is inside. The panels meet at plain square edges with no frame, so the cover reads as one volume of glass. The base is left open, so it lifts straight off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand it over a piece on a sideboard, a console or a display cabinet, anywhere a sculpture or an object needs protecting from a busy room. A pale wall behind it keeps the smoked glass from going dark. Light from above falls through the top panel on to whatever is inside. From across the room it reads as a soft grey volume, and what it covers is seen clearly as soon as you are near.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize, Tint and How It Travels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. You settle three things at the order. It can be made to another size to fit a particular piece, the smoke can be deepened or taken back to clear glass, and it can be made upright, higher than it is wide, for a standing object. A deeper tint gives more privacy to what is inside and less of it on view. It travels in a padded crate, and it is lowered over its piece with a hand at each end. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain box of smoked glass made to cover and show a piece belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmoked Grey Glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54208183697755,"sku":"H166","price":2564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H166.jpg?v=1791934107","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/smoked-grey-open-base-glass-display-cover-85cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
