{"product_id":"brown-smoked-cone-base-acrylic-side-table-55cm","title":"Brown Smoked Cone Base Acrylic Side Table - 55cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis acrylic side table is a cone of smoked brown with a round top resting on it. The cone is closed on every side and flares from a narrow shoulder at the top out to the floor, so the table has no legs and no openings anywhere in it except the underside. Top and cone are the same smoked brown, dark enough to read as a colour and clear enough to see the far wall through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Closed Cone Under a Round Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed cone asks more of the material than any other base form here. The sheet has to be drawn round onto itself and the seam closed along a line that runs the whole height, and in a smoked material that seam sits in the middle of a tinted field where there is nowhere to lose it - so it is worked until it takes the light at the same angle as the faces either side of it. The flare is set by the former and every cone comes off it slightly differently, so the ring where it meets the floor is trued afterwards on each piece rather than to a drawing. The smoke is in the material and reads deeper where you look through two walls of the cone at once, which is why the middle of it looks darker than the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 55cm the top meets the height of a sofa arm, so this is a table to draw up beside a seat and not one to set in front of it. The closed cone gives it a solidity that a leg base does not, so it holds its own next to a large piece of upholstery instead of disappearing beside it. Smoked brown warms a room the way tinted glass does, and it sits comfortably with timber, leather and brass. Over a pale floor the cone reads as a soft shadow; over a dark one it nearly vanishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Smoke, the Cone, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinarily a standard piece needs 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The smoke can be run lighter or deeper, and the same cone is available in a clear or a coloured acrylic. The top can be cut wider on the same base and squared off if a round top is too soft for the room. The table arrives in two pieces, the cone and the top, and the top locates on the cone's shoulder without fixings, so nothing needs tools on arrival and the crate is no wider than the top itself. Neither piece needs a second pair of hands. The cone is the more vulnerable part in transit and travels standing, packed against its own shoulder rather than its rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA closed cone under a round top belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; smoked brown that warms a room leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a table drawn up beside a seat joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmoked Brown Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003698860379,"sku":"Y029","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y029.jpg?v=1790883237","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/brown-smoked-cone-base-acrylic-side-table-55cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
