It rests on one dark grey metal base shaped as a cradle: a deep half-round hollow is cut down into it from the top, so the slab bears on two flat-topped arms, and the cradle stands on a low rectangular base plate with a square bracket at the foot of each arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Clear Slab Resting in a Dark Grey Cradle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scale is the first fact and the structure is the second. The slab is long enough that the eye reads it as a horizon, and because it is clear the room behind shows through its whole length, broken and displaced by the ripples above and the facets at the edge. The chipped perimeter is what keeps a slab this large from looking industrial: it is irregular all the way along, so the edge catches light in short unequal flashes instead of one continuous line. Underneath, the cradle does all the carrying. Its two arms meet the slab well inboard of its ends, leaving the top to overhang at either end, and where they bear on it their flat tops show through the clear resin as two pale panels. Between them the half-round hollow opens a clear view through the middle of the table. The metal is a dark charcoal grey with a soft sheen, so it reads as a shadow under the clear top rather than as a competing object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt dining height and generous in length, this is a dining table or a long console, not a coffee table, and it needs a room with real space: a dining room, a wide hall, a hotel lounge or a boardroom. The top is level and generous throughout. It needs to be seen along its length, so an end-on approach serves it better than a side one, and it wants light from above, which reaches the ripples and the faceted edge together. A plain floor beneath is worth having, since the whole length of it comes up through the slab. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Length, the Edge, and the Metal Beneath\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The mass is the slow part. The length comes first: the slab can be cut to suit a room that cannot take it at full length, and the cradle is redrawn to match. The edge is second, from this chipped facet through to a polished arris that makes the slab read as glass, or a rippled edge matching the top. The third is the base, which can be this dark grey cradle, a polished stainless one, or two plain blocks that do away with the curve entirely. The base can also be cut to a drawing of your own. Slab length and base height are quoted together. It ships in two crates on purpose-built pallets, slab and base apart, and a slab of this length wants six people and a clear run to its position.
