The disc is wider than the tube and overhangs it all the way round. The wall is polished to a mirror inside and out, so the room and whatever stands beyond it are carried across the curve and the piece reads as a column of light rather than a solid mass. There is no banding on it and no separate foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Cylinder, Cut and Brought to a Mirror\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tube is the hard part of the build: its wall has to rise true and even all the way round, because on a clear cylinder any wander in the wall shows as a ripple in whatever is seen through it. The curve is then ground back through successive grades and polished until it holds a mirror. The disc on top is finished to the same standard so the two read as one material, and the surface is left with no tint at all, which is what lets the colour of the room stand in for the colour of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 69cm this stands at chair-arm height and takes a lamp, a drink or a small stack of books beside a seat. It also works as a plinth in a hall or a gallery corner, and because the face is a mirror it is best where there is something worth reflecting: a window, a planted corner or a coloured wall rather than a plain white one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiameter, Height, and What the Mirror Costs in Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. Truing and polishing the tube is the slow part. There are three decisions. The cylinder can be supplied tinted rather than colourless, the top disc can be made flush with the column or left proud of it as it is here, and the face can be finished satin instead of mirror where a room has too much to reflect. Top diameter and column height are each specified. Where two or more are wanted, how deep the mirror runs in the face is held the same across the group. In transit the top disc and the polished face must be boxed away from the sides; one person to set it down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain clear tube capped by a disc is pure geometry, so look for it in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; set beside a chair it joins the working tables of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and its plain restraint suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e69cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53983185568091,"sku":"J493","price":4185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J493.jpg?v=1791389874","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-mirror-polished-resin-column-side-table-69cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
