{"product_id":"charred-core-clear-cast-resin-block-side-table-45cm","title":"Charred Core Clear Cast Resin Block Side Table - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis side table is a block of clear resin around a dark charred core, the core's cut end showing on the top face and the resin turning amber where it thickens towards the edges. The char covers the core's whole outer surface, and the rings of the cut end are visible through the polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Charred Core Held Inside Clear Resin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core is dried and stabilised before anything is poured, then held in position while the resin is built up around it, so it sits centred in the block with an even thickness of material on every side. The top face is worked flat and polished right across both the resin and the core's cut end, which is the slow part: two surfaces of different hardness have to come up to one plane and one sheen. The four arrises are left true rather than eased, so the block reads as a cut solid. The four faces and the base are taken to the same gloss, because a clear block on a pale floor is read from beneath as much as from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm it is at the height of a chair arm, and the top face is flat right across, so a glass or a lamp stands on it without rocking. The core is the reason to have it, so it wants light from the side to be read through the block rather than a downlight that would only show the top. On a pale floor the resin reads clear and on a dark one it closes to amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Core, the Polished Top, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The charred core is the slow part. Ask for three things to be set your way. The core is chosen from what is in stock at order, the block is cast squarer or deeper in plan, and a tint is taken through the resin around it. You name the top width and the overall height. For a matching group, the char on the core is set once and carried through it. The exposed core face and the block arrises go into the crate wrapped, and it is packed so the top face carries nothing. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA charred core held in a clear block gives our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e a side table; the burnt timber answers our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, the block itself 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear 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":53993525412187,"sku":"J678","price":3915.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J678.jpg?v=1791398736","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/charred-core-clear-cast-resin-block-side-table-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
