{"product_id":"clear-leaf-inclusion-resin-bench-140cm","title":"Clear Leaf Inclusion Resin Bench - 140cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis clear beam holds copper-toned leaves at many depths, some close under the top face and some far down towards the underside. The top is worked into concentric rings that spread from several points along the length, like rain falling on standing water, and the beam is carried on a squared stainless steel frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeaves Held Still Inside a Rippled Beam\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves lie flat rather than tilted, and they sit at clearly different depths from one another, which is what gives the beam its thickness to look into. Those nearest the top face read sharply and hold their veining; the deeper ones soften into the resin and read as colour alone. The ring pattern is part of the top surface itself, felt as a relief under a palm, and it spreads from several separate centres so no two stretches of the beam are alike; where a ring passes over a leaf the two read together. The frame is set in from both ends, so the beam overhangs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seat takes two at a stretch and is narrow enough for a hall, a landing or the end of a bed. It earns its place where it can be looked down into, which is why a hall or a run of glazing suits it better than a dim corner. Light from above is what brings the leaves out; light from the front simply reflects off the rings. Because the beam is clear the steel frame is fully visible through it, and the frame is set in from the ends so the beam appears to float. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLeaf Type, Scatter Density \u0026amp; Frame Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. Leaf type and density are both specified at order and they interact, which is worth thinking about together rather than separately: a sparse scatter of large leaves reads as a few deliberate objects held in the resin, while a dense one of small leaves reads as a single autumn drift and hides the rings under it. A green or a bleached leaf is used in place of the copper tone, the green being much quieter and the bleached one the most graphic against a dark floor. The beam can be cut to other lengths, and the frame can be brushed, darkened or polished to a mirror, the mirror version disappearing under the beam almost entirely. Beam and frame travel separately and are bolted together through the underside on site, with the beam kept flat and face up throughout, because the ring surface will scuff against a hard edge and a scuff on a relief cannot be polished out the way one on a flat face can. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper leaves held in a rippled clear beam make a bench for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the squared frame below links it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and, in its material, to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH43cm, W140cm, D36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel Frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin with Leaf Inclusions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956814373211,"sku":"J137","price":6952.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J137.jpg?v=1791385352","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-leaf-inclusion-resin-bench-140cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
