{"product_id":"blue-and-green-timber-bowl-resin-round-table-119cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Green Timber Bowl Resin Round Table - 119cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA round table whose whole base is a hemisphere of stacked timber boards, standing on a small flat foot. The boards run horizontally and each is cut to the curve, so the outside of the bowl is banded in pale end grain from the foot to the rim. Inside the top, blue and green resin pools to a flat level surface, and the timber breaks through it around the edge in a ragged ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Bowl of Stacked Boards Filled to the Brim\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the base is the sculpture and the top merely finishes it. Seen from any standing position what reads is the bowl: a full hemisphere, banded from foot to rim in the sawn ends of perhaps forty boards, each band a slightly different cream according to the grain it came from. The curve is continuous and there is no visible step anywhere in it. Only from above does the resin come into play, and there the depth of the bowl tells: the blue in the middle sits over a considerable thickness and reads almost black, while the green at the edges sits over almost nothing and reads bright. Between them is a band where the two colours meet in a ragged line, following the timber as it rises to the rim. The overall effect is of a pool in a stone basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a coffee table it is a big one, and because the hemisphere claims the floor beneath it where legs would leave it free, it wants open floor all round. There is nothing to catch a foot on. The top is level and generous. It suits an overhead light, which puts the whole pool in view; light from one side reflects off the resin and leaves the bowl in shadow, which loses half the object. On a pale floor the bowl reads as a solid mass; on a dark one the pale banding is the strongest thing in the room. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Depth of the Bowl, and Where the Two Colours Meet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinarily a standard piece needs 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Everything here follows from the depth of the bowl, so start with that: a full hemisphere as here reads as a basin, a shallower dish reads as a disc on a foot, and a deeper one begins to read as a vessel that happens to have a level top. Then the colour pair, which can be this blue and green, a single blue, or an amber and brown that abandons the water reading entirely. Then the timber, pale as here or a dark walnut. Bowl diameter and overall height come to order. It travels bowl down on a pallet in one crate, and three people should place it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bowl of banded boards brimming with blue and green, this table suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; for the pooled colour see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and for the timber hemisphere our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e46cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with Solid Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53965365838171,"sku":"J151","price":16467.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J151.jpg?v=1791385387","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-green-timber-bowl-resin-round-table-119cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
