Product Overview
What This Piece Is
Cube Sculpture Is an Elegant Investigation of Shape Form is a geometric block built to order in our Shenzhen workshop.
A block or faceted mass gives a landscape a hard edge against soft planting, which is why it sits well in formal courtyards.
Every piece is fabricated for the position it is going into rather than picked from a fixed range.
The minimum order is one piece, the size is set by your drawing rather than by a catalogue.

Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Piece
- Height, width and base detail for this geometric block are set from your drawing, so it is proportioned to the space instead of being the nearest standard size.
- One geometric block is a full order. A single project in the position it is going into does not have to wait for a container quantity.
- A block or faceted mass gives a landscape a hard edge against soft planting, which is why it sits well in formal courtyards.
- Because the metal is worked and finished in the same building, one team owns the surface from the first cut to the last pass.
- Anything about this geometric block that has to change for the position it is going into is settled on the drawing, where changes still cost nothing.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Placed wherever the drawing puts it, with the base and fixing detail set to suit that position for this geometric block.
Who It Is For
The People Who Order This
- Architects matching a geometric block to a material palette that already uses metal
- Facility and estate managers replacing a tired feature in the position it is going into with something that needs no repainting
- Landscape architects specifying a finished geometric block as the focal piece for the position it is going into
- Property developers placing a metal geometric block in public spaces to anchor an arrival point
Problems It Solves
What This Piece Removes From the Project
- A geometric block specified late has to fit dimensions that are already fixed. Working from your drawing means the piece adapts instead of the scheme.
- Suppliers who subcontract the finishing cannot answer for the surface. The metal here is cut, welded and finished under one roof.
- Getting a geometric block into the position it is going into is usually harder than the design assumed. Access is checked before the piece is built, not on delivery day.
Technical Features
How It Is Constructed
- Flat panel construction with sharp arrises and internal stiffening behind each face
- Edges and arrises detailed for the contact a geometric block gets in the position it is going into
- Internal frame sized to this geometric block rather than taken from a standard section list

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Compared with A cast or moulded reproduction
A reproduction repeats a fixed size. This geometric block is built to your dimensions, which is the whole reason to commission one.
Compared with Buying through a trading company
A trader passes drawings along and adds a margin. Here the geometric block is drawn and built by the same people you are talking to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be made in a different size
Yes. Cube Sculpture Is an Elegant Investigation of Shape Form is made to order, so the height and width are set from your drawing or from the dimensions of the space. Send the position and the height you have in mind and the quotation follows those figures.
What is the minimum order quantity
One piece. There is no container minimum, which is why single projects in the position it is going into are a normal part of the workload here.
How is a geometric block this size packed and shipped
A plywood crate is built around the finished geometry with foam on every finished face. Large geometric blocks are split into sections at joints chosen during design, trial assembled in the workshop, then marked so they go back together in the same order on site.
What do you need from me to quote
The position, the height or overall size you want, and any drawing, render or reference photograph you already have. For the position it is going into a photograph of the space is often enough to start.
What is the lead time
Lead time depends on the size of the geometric block, the surface finish and how much design work it needs, so it is confirmed with the quotation rather than promised in advance. Send the brief and the schedule comes back with the price.
