{"product_id":"blue-shoreline-top-layered-timber-table-530cm","title":"Blue Shoreline Top Layered Timber Table - 530cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top of this long table is a coastline seen from above. Pale sand and sky-pale water swirl together across most of it, and where the outline cuts in along one long edge and at one end, the water turns a deep blue over timber layers that step down beneath it like the floor of a bay. The body below is built from horizontal timber layers in a warm gold, their edges cut back to an undulating contour so the sides read as a bank rather than an apron.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Shoreline Laid Over Contoured Timber Layers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two halves of the piece describe the same landscape at different scales. The top is the water and the beach, drawn in colour, and its outline is free rather than rectangular, so the table's plan is itself a stretch of coast. The body is the land, and it is laid up in courses whose exposed edges step in and out as they rise, so from any angle the sides read as contour lines on a map. The timber is a golden hardwood and the layer edges are the only pattern on it. The top carries all of the blue on the piece, and its outline changes at every point along the length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt belongs in a room with clearance to walk the full length on both sides: a boardroom, a private dining room, a hotel or club space, or a showroom floor. It is a table people will look down into rather than merely eat from, so the lighting matters more than usual and a wash along the length reads better than a single pendant. There is no better position for it than out in a space with the whole outline visible; against a wall half the coast is lost. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAccess, Sections \u0026amp; Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. A table of this length will not turn a stair, a landing or most corridors, so the access route is settled before anything is made: door widths, corridor lengths, ceiling height at every turn, lift dimensions where there is one, and whether there is a straight run from the entrance to the room. Where the route will not take it in one length the table is made in two or three sections meeting on joints set to fall in the water rather than across the shoreline, so the drawn line is never interrupted. It arrives on a purpose-built pallet, and it is a six-person placement with the body positioned and levelled before anything else. Length, the shoreline geometry and the timber species are all specified at order, and the water can be drawn to a particular stretch of coast from a chart you send us. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoast and contour lines give this long table its place in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the sea-blue casting joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the table itself our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\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\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e530cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with Layered Timber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53958013550939,"sku":"J181","price":74191.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J181.jpg?v=1791388407","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-shoreline-top-layered-timber-table-530cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
