It is not set on its supports but held in them: two bronzed metal brackets pass over the bar and carry down each side into flat blades that reach the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Bar Held in Two Brackets Rather Than Set On Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHolding a bar rather than standing it on a leg changes where the work is. Each bracket has to fit the fluted profile closely enough to grip without bearing on the ribs, so the inner face of the bracket is formed to the flute pattern rather than left flat, and the two brackets have to match each other to a tolerance you can see: a bar sitting even slightly down in one bracket reads as a sag across the whole span. The flutes themselves are run in one pass along the full length, since a bar worked in sections shows the joins as a change of rhythm. The bronzing is a chemical finish, so each bracket colours slightly differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bench this long asks for a wall of its own: an entrance, a lobby, or the length of a dining room. The fluted top catches light along its length rather than across it, so a run of downlights does more for it than one fitting. The bronzed brackets are the only opaque elements and they read as two dark marks at the ends, which is worth setting out against the wall behind. Leave the overhangs clear at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBracket Position, Flute Pitch and Setting the Bar In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. Bracket position is set at order and moving them inward or outward changes the whole balance of the bench. Flute pitch can be opened out or closed in, and the bar is offered plain. Length is cut to order. The brackets are available in a brighter brass, a darker bronze or a painted finish. Bar and brackets travel separately, and the bar is set down into its brackets on site rather than moved as a finished bench. Three people are wanted for the bar. Each bracket is a one-person carry and travels boxed. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fluted bar gripped rather than propped belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; brackets formed to the flute profile lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and seating held clear of the floor along a lobby wall 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\u003e250cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFluted Clear Acrylic with Bronzed Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016238715227,"sku":"Y147","price":18756.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y147.jpg?v=1790887334","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-fluted-bar-bench-on-bronzed-brackets-250cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
