The lobes are broad rather than fine, so the top reads as a slow swell rising and falling, and the whole shell is cast hollow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSoft Lobes Inside a Rough Shell\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lobes are worked broad and shallow into the upper mould face, and a broad lobe is harder to hold than a fine ripple: the material has to stay even across a long slow curve where a fine one is supported by its neighbour. The outside is broken to the family's faceted surface. It is cast hollow through an oval hemisphere, so the wall has to hold its thickness where the plan pulls in at both ends. The rim is worked up round the outline and the bearing line ground true across the whole oval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits along a sofa rather than square to it, and its narrow axis is the one that decides whether it will pass a doorway. The broad lobes hold a shadow that a fine ripple does not, so the top changes through the day. Being cast hollow it moves far more easily than a shell of this plan looks as though it should, which matters in a room in regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Lobes, the Hollow Wall, and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The bulk is the lobed face. Three elements are left to you. The lobes can be worked shallower for a quieter top, the tint is open, and the wall can be run thicker where the piece is to be moved often. The oval length and the shell depth are open figures. Where two or more are ordered, the swell of the lobes is worked to the same depth across them, though no two shells break alike. Before the lid goes on, the lobed face and the rough shell are wrapped, and being hollow it weighs far less than a solid piece of this plan would. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft lobes swelling across a broken-ice shell give our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e a low table; the slow swell suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, the hollow shell our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\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\u003e125cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin, Hollow at a 3cm Wall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53998848868699,"sku":"J809","price":10598.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J809.jpg?v=1791402848","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-lobed-top-broken-ice-low-table-125cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
