Its four edges are left in a run of blunt drips and points, like water arrested part way down, and the slab is carried well inboard on two dark pedestals worked into irregular rock forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Crazed Clear Slab Set on Two Cast Boulders\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crazing does not stop at the edge of the slab: it continues out into the drip profile, so the fractures and the outline belong to the same event and the edge never reads as a cut. Fractures sit at every depth in the clear body, at every angle, and a slab this long holds a bright line all the way along it even under a single fitting. The two pedestals are the opposite in character, matte and rough where the slab is glassy, and they are not a matched pair: each is a different rock form, so the table has a heavier end and a lighter one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt seats six, and the inboard pedestals mean the end chairs have nothing to work around. It is a table that wants to be walked round, so it does better with space on all four sides than pushed against a wall. The clear slab lets a patterned floor read straight through, which is worth using deliberately: over boards or a rug the pattern becomes part of the table. Glass, timber and unglazed ceramic all sit well on it, and the drip edge is the one detail to keep clear of a chair back. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Crated Items, Four Hands to Set the Slab\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. This table arrives as three separate items in one case, and the sequence on site is worth having straight before the crate is opened. Both pedestals come out first and are positioned and levelled to the slab's marked centres, which are set out so the overhang matches at each end; a pedestal out of position by a few centimetres puts the drip edge at different distances from the two ends and it shows immediately. The slab is then lifted flat by four people, one at each corner, and lowered rather than slid, because sliding drags the underside across the pedestal tops. It is not a piece to reposition afterwards without lifting the slab off again. Slab length is specified to order at any span, with the crazing set finer or more open, and the pedestals are offered in this dark finish or a pale stone tone; a clear resin pair is made instead where the whole table is to read as one material. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crazed clear slab carried on hewn black pedestals belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; its drip edge and rock forms lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its glassy body to 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\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH77cm, W196cm, D86cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo Cast Pedestals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin over Fibreglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956813685083,"sku":"J072","price":12691.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J072.jpg?v=1791378936","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-crackled-resin-slab-dining-table-196cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
