{"product_id":"clear-branch-inclusion-rippled-resin-block-table-64cm","title":"Clear Branch Inclusion Rippled Resin Block Table - 64cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis table is an upright block of optically clear resin, each of its four faces worked into soft vertical ripples that bend whatever is seen through them, with a flat top. Suspended inside are fine dark branch forms, and around the middle of the block their tips carry small petal shapes in gold, amber and pale mauve. The ripple and the branch work are read together: the surface moves as you walk past and the inclusions appear to shift with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBranch Forms Suspended in a Rippled Block\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe branch forms are set in position and the resin is then poured around them in stages, so nothing floats out of place and no lift line shows between one stage and the next. The petal shapes stay where the twigs end, clustered round the middle of the block, and the clear resin around them is left empty so each one stands out. The rippled faces are worked after the block has cured, and each face is polished until the ripple reads as a moving surface rather than a texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 64cm this sits at the height of a chair back, which makes it a drinks table beside a seat or a stand for a single object in a hall. Put it where light comes from behind or from one side: the branch work is only fully readable when something is passing through the block, and against a dark wall it closes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Goes Inside, and What the Ripple Does to It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The suspended branch work is the slow part. Three things about it are not fixed. What is suspended inside is open: branch forms as here, a single specimen, or nothing at all for a clear block. The petal shapes can be left out, and the ripple can be worked deeper so the distortion is stronger. The top span and the block height follow your figures. Several ordered together are worked so that where the branch work sits in the block agrees. The crate is packed to keep the rippled faces and the block arris clear, and it takes two people to move. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwigs and petals held in rippled clear resin align this table with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; it is also a working piece of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e and is listed with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e64cm\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\u003eCast Resin with Suspended Branch Forms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53983187075419,"sku":"J496","price":12623.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J496.jpg?v=1791389890","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-branch-inclusion-rippled-resin-block-table-64cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
