{"product_id":"clear-bent-sheet-acrylic-bench-220cm","title":"Clear Bent Sheet Acrylic Bench - 220cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne sheet bent twice makes the whole of this bench. The seat runs long and level, and at each end the material turns down through a broad radius and continues to the ground as a leg. There is no frame, no bracket and no change of material anywhere in it - the same clear surface carries along the seat, round both curves and down both legs. It keeps the same section from end to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Sheet Turned Down at Both Ends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo bends in one sheet at this length is the whole difficulty. Each radius has to be taken over a former with the sheet heated along a narrow band, and the two bands must be exactly parallel or the bench stands on a twist that no amount of adjustment afterwards will take out. The first bend is set and allowed to cool through before the second is attempted, because reheating near a finished curve lets it relax. The radius itself is generous by design: a tight turn in a clear sheet crazes on the outside of the curve and the crazing catches light along the whole length of the bend. Both cut ends are polished, and they are the only cut edges the bench has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA long bench with nothing under it but two curves gets in the way of very little, so it belongs where a solid bench would block a view - across a window, along a glazed hall, in front of a run of shelving you want to keep visible. The seat is at the ordinary height, so nobody has to think about it. The floor matters more here than on a legged bench: two continuous feet take no packing at a corner, so a boarded floor that has moved will show as a rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Radius, the Span, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. The radius can be drawn tighter or opened out, which changes both how much floor the legs cover and how the bench reads from the side. Length and depth are both adjustable, and the sheet is available tinted. Because the bench is one piece it arrives as one piece, with nothing to assemble or break down, so the route has to take its full length in one go and a dog-leg stair will not do it. Two people are needed, lifting under the seat rather than by a leg. The whole surface is filmed and the film comes off once it is in place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne sheet turned down at either end goes with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a seat and two legs from one surface lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a bench that keeps a window clear 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\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\u003e220cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Bent Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003702137179,"sku":"Y051","price":5940.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y051.jpg?v=1790884220","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-bent-sheet-acrylic-bench-220cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
