Its two blades are mirror-polished metal, and each picks up the dimpled face above as a broken reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Field of Small Dimples Instead of a Ripple\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA field of dimples is a different problem from a ripple because there is no line to follow. Every dimple is a separate act, and the eye reads the distribution rather than any individual one, so they have to be dense enough to cover without falling into rows and irregular enough to avoid a pattern while staying even in scale. In a clear body each dimple also acts as a small lens, which is why the field looks silvered from some angles and almost invisible from others. The arrises are rolled after the field is worked so the dimples run over the edge rather than stopping at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA beaten surface changes completely with the angle of the light, so this wants somewhere the light moves: near a window, under a fitting that gets switched on in the evening, along a wall you pass at different times. It sits low, so it can serve as a surface in front of a sofa as well as a seat. Mirror blades ask for a plain hard floor; on a rug they break up and the floating effect is lost. Leave the ends clear so the panel reads as a single length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimple Scale, Blade Finish and Two-Part Assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. Dimple scale is open, from a fine peening to a coarse hammered field, and it can be confined to the long faces with the top left smooth. Panel depth is offered heavier. Length is cut to order and a tint can be introduced. Blades are available brushed or coated where the mirror is too active, and their spacing is set at order. Panel and blades travel separately and bolt up through plates in the underside, so the bench arrives as three items and a normal doorway is enough. Two people are wanted for the panel, and each blade travels boxed. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimples packed as close as a beaten surface belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a dimpled face broken up in mirror blades leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a low bench doubling as a surface by a sofa 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140cm\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 Mirror-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":54015817711963,"sku":"Y140","price":9917.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y140.jpg?v=1790887305","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-dimpled-face-acrylic-bench-on-mirror-blades-140cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
