Under it is a trestle: two upright legs faced in brass, joined by a brass rail set directly under the seat. It is a chair height rather than a step height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Coarse Grain Across the Face and One Rolled Edge\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA coarse grain is harder to bring off than a fine one, because every facet is big enough to be looked at on its own and one that catches at the wrong angle reads as damage instead of texture. The face is worked in bands across the width and then blended where the bands meet, so the grain runs on from end to end without a rhythm you can count. Rolling the front edge is a separate operation and it is done first, since that edge is the one part of the panel that has to be optically clean and any grit off the grain work would go straight into it. The trestle is steel faced in brass, its two legs standing square, with the rail carried right up under the seat, which keeps the space beneath it open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bench this short fits where a chair will not: inside a door, at the end of a bath, under a window, at the foot of a bed. The rolled edge is the front, so put the grained face where light rakes it from the side rather than straight on. It takes an adult without ceremony and pushes back against a wall. The brass trestle is the only opaque part and reads as two bright marks, which is worth setting against a plain wall rather than a busy one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrain Depth, Rail Position and Two Facing Benches\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. Grain depth is set at order and runs from this coarse break to a fine even tooth. The panel is offered plain where the grain is not wanted, and both long edges can be rolled instead of one. Rail position along the legs is open, and the trestle is available faced in brass, bronze, chrome or powder-coated black. Length and seat height are cut to order, and two benches meant to face each other are scheduled as one lot. Panel and trestle travel apart, the panel on edge in a crate, and two people bolt them together where the bench stands. Nothing is glued and nothing is fixed down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA coarse grain like split stone belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; an upright trestle faced in brass leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a short seat by an entrance 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\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Acrylic with Brass-Plated 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":54016469795163,"sku":"Y197","price":4792.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y197.jpg?v=1790889902","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-grained-panel-bench-on-a-brass-trestle-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
