The seat, a heavy clear acrylic slab, is furrowed along the length of its upper face, so the top is not flat but gently ridged from end to end. Underneath, a mirror-polished steel frame stands on four uprights set well out toward the ends, which leaves less overhang than the length would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Long Furrowed Slab on a Four-Legged Frame\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top is long enough that any mark on it is visible from one end to the other, so the whole length is worked to the same standard rather than only where the eye first falls. The upper face is worked into shallow furrows that run the full length, cut with a radiused tool so each trough is rounded rather than sharp and the whole surface stays comfortable. The furrows are then polished, which is the slow part - a flat top can be machine-lapped, and a furrowed one is brought up by hand along every trough. Their depth wanders slightly from one bench to the next because the finishing is done by feel. The frame is fabricated from square steel, mirror-polished on the outer faces, and the four uprights are set to carry the slab where it is stiffest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bench this long wants a wall it can sit against for its whole length, and it earns its keep in a hall or a wide landing where a brief one would look lost. Set at a standard height, the seat works as seating rather than as a surface. Set it where the mirror frame has something worth reflecting - a rug, a run of floorboards - because polished steel takes its colour from whatever is around it, and against a plain pale floor it will read almost white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Length, the Furrows, and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. It can be shortened, and the furrows can be run across the width rather than along the length if you prefer them read as a series of bars. The frame is available brushed if a mirror finish is too active for the room. Length is the practical issue here: a slab this long cannot be turned on a landing or carried up a dog-leg staircase, so check the route before ordering. The slab ships on its flat, the frame flat-packed beside it, and the two bolt together on site in one operation. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurrows running the full length of the seat belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; a ridged slab over mirror steel runs on into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long seat for a wide landing 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\u003e180cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Acrylic with Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001610883419,"sku":"Y004","price":13163.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y004.jpg?v=1790882266","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-furrowed-slab-acrylic-bench-on-polished-frame-180cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
