The top is the exception: it is left smooth and flat, so the piece invites use on the one surface where texture would be unwelcome. Two brushed stainless blades carry it, placed so a length of block reaches past each of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery Face Worked Except the One You Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking every face but one is more demanding than working all of them, because the boundary has to be a decision rather than a stopping point. The chiselling runs right up to the top arris and is cut off there cleanly, so from above the bench reads as a plain flat plane and from any other angle as a rough block, and the change happens along a line that has to stay straight the whole length. A coarse texture in clear resin also behaves differently from the same texture in stone: each flake acts on the light passing through the body, so the interior reads as full of small bright facets rather than as a clear mass. The blades are brushed rather than polished, which keeps them quiet under all that activity. No two blocks flake alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wants to be walked past rather than looked down on, because the worked faces are on the sides. A hall, a wide landing, the long side of a dining room. Raking light along the length is what brings the chisel work up, so a wall light at one end does far more than a ceiling fitting overhead. The smooth top means it takes real use: bags, books, someone sitting. Give the two ends a hand's width of space, since they carry the coarsest work and are the parts that catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTexture Depth, Blade Position and Site Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. Texture depth can be taken coarser or brought down to a fine tooth, and the smooth zone can be extended down the front face if a cleaner profile is wanted. Overall length is yours to set. A tint can be introduced into the resin, and the blades are available polished, painted, or in a darker metal. Blade position is set out at order, since moving them toward the ends changes the whole balance of the piece. The block comes apart from its blades for delivery, so the bench does not have to be carried in one piece. The block wants three people at this length. Each blade is a one-person carry. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery face worked but the one you sit on belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; chisel work that catches light in flakes leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and seating to run beside a broad landing 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\u003e170cm\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\u003eClear Cast Resin with Brushed Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003984204123,"sku":"Y085","price":11064.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y085.jpg?v=1790884916","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-chiselled-resin-bench-on-brushed-blades-170cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
