Because the beam is clear from face to face, the fish are seen through the depth of the seat and sit at different distances from the eye depending on where you stand, so the piece looks different from each end of a hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFish Suspended Inside a Resin Beam\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fish are at different depths and angles rather than lined up on one plane, which is what keeps the beam from reading as a printed panel. Each is a separate modelled body with fins and tail rather than a silhouette, and the ones nearest the top face are the sharpest while those deep in the beam soften into the resin. The ripple along the upper face is a relief you can feel with a palm rather than a pattern on a flat surface, and it runs the full length without a repeat. The two legs are folded steel plate, set inboard of the ends and let into the underside, so the beam overhangs at both ends. No two benches carry the same arrangement of fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts length belongs to an entrance hall, a hotel lobby, a gallery or the side of a pool, and its low seat is for pausing, changing shoes or waiting rather than for dining. It is a piece people look down into, so it earns its place where they pass close to it rather than across a room. The clear body keeps a corridor open visually, and the fish give it something to hold attention at close range. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Inclusion: Species, Count \u0026amp; Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The inclusion is the part of this bench that is specified rather than chosen from stock. Number and species of fish are both set at order, from a handful of large bodies spaced along the run to a dense shoal, and the depth band they occupy can be kept near the top face where they read sharply or spread through the full thickness for a softer effect. Botanical inclusions are made on the same beam in place of fish, and a plain clear beam is available where the ripple alone is wanted. Alternative spans are made to order. Leg finishes are offered in polished, brushed or blackened steel. This is a heavy beam and a four-person lift, and it travels in a purpose-built crate with the legs detached and bolted on site through the underside, so the route matters: we confirm door widths and any turn before despatch, and the beam is carried on edge rather than flat because that is the attitude in which it is stiffest to handle. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith fish caught in its clear rippled beam, this bench joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the casting belongs equally with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the blackened plate legs with 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.3 x 5 x 31cm each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Resin with Fish Inclusions and Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53958015582555,"sku":"J200","price":35036.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J200.jpg?v=1791388706","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-rippled-resin-bench-with-embedded-fish-280cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
