From the side it is a bar of clear water; from above, its rippled edge catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Slab of Clear Water to Sit On\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slab this thick is a block of light, and the ripples cut into its edge are what make it read as water rather than glass. The top is left flat for sitting and the edges are rippled and polished, so light runs along them in bright lines. The frame is plain and polished to a mirror, so it reflects the floor and seems to disappear, and the slab appears to float above it. It is simple, solid and unexpectedly striking, and it seats two comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits a hall, a landing, a gallery, the foot of a bed or a bay window, anywhere a bench is wanted that is also a sculpture. Light has to pass through it to show the ripples, so a place by a window suits it. On a dark floor the clear slab glows. It is a quiet piece and works in a modern or a classic interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLength, Edge and Lifting It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The bench can be made to another length or height, the edge can be rippled more deeply or left straight, and the frame can be given a brushed, a brass-toned or a black finish. A black frame makes the slab stand out even more, and a brass-toned one warms it. It is heavy for its size, being solid, and takes two people to lift, one at each end of the slab. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rippled slab of clear acrylic on a polished frame, this bench sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Acrylic 13cm Thick on Polished Metal Legs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209612611931,"sku":"C338","price":7885.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C338.jpg?v=1792160615","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-rippled-edge-acrylic-slab-bench-on-metal-legs-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
