A smoked black glass panel spans the whole assembly on short posts, so the glass floats a clear gap above the engine and every part of it stays visible from a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Five-Cylinder Engine Form Under Smoked Glass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe engine is built new rather than salvaged, from metal and 3D-printed parts, with a glass top. Its detail is what carries the piece at close range, the fins, the fastener heads and the ribbing across the plenum, all crisp at a scale that reads as a real machine, and all finished by hand so the surfaces are not left as they came off the machine. The grey and the black are separated deliberately so the barrels stand forward of the housings rather than merging into one mass. The glass is smoked rather than clear, which makes it read as a lid over the engine instead of an absence above it, and the gap under the panel is left open on all four sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top sits at full coffee-table height, sized for a three or four seat arrangement. It is made to be looked into, so it wants a low light nearby and open floor on at least three sides rather than being pushed up to a sofa. The glass is the working surface and takes a glass or a book anywhere across it; the engine below is not a shelf and should be left clear. A dark room suits it, and it holds its own against leather, steel and raw concrete. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDelivered on a Pallet, Glass Placed Last\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. This is very heavy for its footprint and the delivery reflects that: it arrives on a pallet rather than in a crate, with the engine already assembled and the glass panel packed separately and flat. A pallet needs a hard approach and a level threshold, so a ground-floor room with a straight run from the door is the practical case, and stairs are a conversation before the order rather than after it. On site the engine is positioned and levelled first, then the four posts are seated, and the glass goes down last, lifted by two people with suction handles or clean gloved hands at the edges. Nothing is fixed, so the panel can be taken off again to move the piece. Glass is specified smoked, bronze or clear, rectangular or with radiused corners, and the engine is finished in the grey and black as standard, all-black, or bare metal. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn engine laid under smoked glass makes a five-barrel coffee table for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, at home with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its machined barrels go with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH45cm, W110cm, D150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmoked Black Glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal, Printed Components, Glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956813750619,"sku":"J087","price":19779.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J087.jpg?v=1791384960","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/black-glass-top-engine-block-coffee-table-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
