COMMISSIONING NOTES
Body, base and overall height: reading sculpture dimensions
A figure’s height, its base dimensions and the complete display height describe different things. Read the individual sheet before comparing models.
A figure’s height, its base dimensions and the complete display height describe different things. Read the individual sheet before comparing models.
Read the order, not just the numbers
Always read dimensions with their measurement labels. MR. HACKER Silver measures 190 × 160 × 300 mm in length, width and height order. For variants with unlabelled axes, we confirm a labelled drawing with you before approval. This keeps the footprint and overall height clear when you plan a display.
Plan GREEN as a body and base together
GREEN has a 300 × 500 × 1100 mm body, a separate 500 × 350 × 200 mm base and a combined display height of 1.3 m. We review the labelled axes and the body/base arrangement with you. Keep these measurements separate when planning the supporting surface and surrounding space.
A variant is a separate measurement record
HELLO KIKI lists 190 × 160 × 300 mm and 250 × 310 × 480 mm. MONKEY KING has three listed body sizes and an additional base reference. A single model page can present these variants without turning each dimension into an unrelated product.
Confirm clearances at the destination
We review the maximum body projection, base, handling route and complete display height together. Send us the relevant door, lift and ceiling dimensions. We confirm the packed size, handling weight and supporting arrangement for the chosen artwork when planning its delivery.
Three dimensions records that should stay separate
Sculpture body dimensions describe the artwork itself. Sculpture base dimensions describe its separate support. Sculpture overall height describes the complete assembled display. We use a body versus base comparison to keep these measurements clear and confirm how the components fit together before you approve the arrangement.
Confirm the measurement order with us
For length width height sculpture dimensions, follow the labels for the exact model. Where labels need confirmation, we agree a dimensioned drawing with you. GREEN has separate body, base and combined-height measurements. A HELLO KIKI size table carries two complete variants; a MONKEY KING base record also needs the selected body pairing. We work through those details so your display uses the right measurements.
Use a dimensioned drawing for the destination
A sculpture clearance drawing connects the approved model and base with their complete dimensions. For artwork handling dimensions, we discuss packed size and receiving requirements separately from body size. A display height approval also considers viewing positions and furniture. Our sculpture measurement checklist distinguishes confirmed dimensions, target sizes and items to review so the final arrangement is clear.
Bring this to your project brief
- The exact artwork or model reference.
- Dimensions with units, body/base distinction and intended setting.
- The questions still requiring material, scope or site confirmation.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
A clearer
next decision.
Questions about Body, base and overall height: reading sculpture dimensions.
Discuss your requirements ↗Do product dimensions automatically include a base?
No. Read the measurement note for the exact model. Keep body, separate base and assembled overall height as distinct records unless the approved specification states otherwise.
What should I do when the axis order is unclear?
Send us the model and variant you are considering. We confirm a drawing with labelled length, width and height before you finalise the display or order.
Can I calculate a larger variant from a smaller sculpture?
Do not replace listed listed values with a proportional estimate. Use each variant's actual dimensions and request confirmation for any new size.
Are packed dimensions the same as sculpture body dimensions?
No packed dimensions are established by a body-size table. Request the actual packing and handling information for the accepted item when planning transport and receiving.
How should GREEN's 1.3 m note be used?
Keep it as the listed combined height with the base, separate from the body and base dimension sequences. Confirm the labelled configuration in the current proposal.
What should a dimension approval drawing show?
It should identify the model, units, axes, body, base and total envelope, with the agreed revision. Include the supporting surface and clearances relevant to the actual display.
