{"product_id":"brown-live-edge-timber-and-clear-resin-bench-180cm","title":"Brown Live-Edge Timber \u0026 Clear Resin Bench - 180cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bench is one long beam that begins as solid red-brown timber and ends as clear resin. The change happens along a ragged natural edge where the timber's own outline was left uncut, so the grain runs out into the clear section and stops in mid-air. Two curved brass-finished pedestals carry the beam, set well in from each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Timber Stops and the Resin Starts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe boundary is the piece. It is not a straight line but the timber's own live edge, so every knot, split and wave in that outline is visible through the resin beside it, and the join reads as an event rather than as a seam. For a short distance into the clear section the grain is still legible through the resin, and then it is gone. The beam is finished as one surface across both materials, so a hand run along the top finds no step at all where they meet. The pedestals are the third material, brass-finished and curved on their front faces, and they are matte where the beam is glossy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seat sits at ordinary bench height, with room for two people side by side or for setting things down. The narrow section makes it a piece for a wall, a hall, the foot of a bed or a window, where its length can be read end to end. It should be positioned with the clear end towards the light, since that is what lifts the resin and shows the grain running out. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTimber Species, the Resin Proportion \u0026amp; Pedestal Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild times separate standard from bespoke: 3–4 weeks against 5–6. Three things are specified and the second is the one that changes the bench most. Beam length is made to order. The proportion of timber to resin is set anywhere from a narrow clear tip, which reads as a timber bench with a detail at one end, to an even division, which reads as two materials in argument; this version sits between the two. Timber species is selected separately, and a paler wood makes the boundary quieter while a dark one makes it the loudest thing in the room. Pedestal finish is offered in brass as here, blackened steel, or polished stainless. The beam and pedestals arrive as three items and are assembled from underneath, with the beam lifted by two people, a hand under each material rather than both under the clear end. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seat cut from one red-brown beam belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the uncut live edge ties it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the glassy clear end to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003eH50cm, W180cm, D40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo Curved Pedestals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid Timber and Clear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956814274907,"sku":"J136","price":21467.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J136.jpg?v=1791385347","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/brown-live-edge-timber-and-clear-resin-bench-180cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
