The base is a closed form cut into eight facets, each tall and tapering towards the top, flat and polished so the faces catch light at different angles. It is cast hollow, with a wall thick enough to carry the colour: a deep aubergine that reads almost black at the corners and lifts to a clear plum across the open middle of each face. Out of the top of it a slim black stem rises and carries a plain round top, also black, so the resin base is the only part of the piece with any colour in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEight Facets Cut Into a Hollow Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base carries the whole piece visually and it is hollow, which is what makes the colour work. The wall carries a deep aubergine whose tone varies across it: almost black in the corners where two facets meet, clear plum across the middle of each face. A solid form at this size in the same tint would read as a black lump. Eight facets taper towards the top and each one is flat and polished, so their corners stay sharp and the faces return light at eight different angles as you move round it. Above them the stem and the top are metal, black and matte, chosen so that nothing competes with the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding at seat height, it takes a lamp, a drink or a few books without looking crowded. The base is the piece and it needs light to work: the facets only separate when something is throwing light across them, so a position near a window or beside a lamp is worth more than a corner. The black top and stem keep it usable, since a dark surface hides marks that a clear one would show. Set it on a plain floor. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Base, the Stem, and the Lead Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The faceted base is the slow part. Three things can change. The number of facets can be changed, the tint can be replaced, and the stem and top can be finished in brass or steel instead of black. The top can also be supplied in stone rather than metal if that suits the room better. The top diameter and the overall height are named by you. Several ordered together are worked so that the aubergine depth of the facets agrees. The packing protects the eight facet corners; moving it wants two people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight aubergine facets under a black top place this table with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; its metal stem relates it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the treatment to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTinted Cast Resin with a Metal Stem and Top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53971209650523,"sku":"J325","price":3781.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J325.jpg?v=1791387234","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/aubergine-faceted-base-black-top-resin-side-table-48cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
