Both long sides are worked to a coarse chopped face that runs the whole length, so seen from the end the seat reads as a block of broken ice and seen from above it is a flat polished plane. Two polished metal plates set well inboard carry it, which leaves a long reach of slab unsupported at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChopped Down Both Long Sides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts length is the constraint on everything else. A slab this long wants to be worked in one setting, because a chopped face taken up in two sessions shows a change of rhythm where the two meet - the ridges land at a different spacing and the eye finds the seam from across a room. The cut is therefore run end to end in a single pass down each side, with the slab supported along its whole length so it cannot flex away from the tool. The upper face is flatted afterwards and brought to clear, which is what sets up the contrast with the sides. The two plates are dressed on all faces and trued together, since a plate even slightly out of parallel shows as a tilt at the far end of so long a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bench this long needs a wall to run beside - a long hall, the space under a window, the end of a big bedroom - and it will look stranded anywhere short of that. It is a comfortable seat and low enough to serve as a surface. Its modest depth keeps it out of a corridor's traffic. Set it where light rakes along its length rather than straight at it: raking light picks out every ridge on the chopped sides, and frontal light flattens the whole thing to a plain band of clear material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Section, the Length, and What the Route Needs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. The slab is available at a lighter section if this depth is more than the room needs, and the chopped faces can be run coarser or left square. The plates come brushed as an alternative to polished, and they can be moved out toward the ends. Length is the practical issue: a slab like this cannot be swung round a half-landing or carried up a dog-leg stair, so measure the route first. The slab travels on its flat with the chopped faces sleeved and the plates crated beside it; the two bolt together from beneath in one operation. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slab chopped like broken ice belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; polished plates set well inboard lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long seat beneath a window 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\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240cm\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 Acrylic with Polished Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003700760923,"sku":"Y045","price":14648.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y045.jpg?v=1790884192","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-chopped-face-acrylic-bench-on-plate-legs-240cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
