The seat is a deep slab, and that depth is worked rather than left plain: the whole section is rippled in close horizontal bands, so seen from the end the slab looks like a length of water stopped mid-movement. It stands on two flat steel plates set in from the ends, which leaves the last stretch of the slab unsupported at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Slab Rippled All the Way Through\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ripple is in the form, not in a film laid over it. The bands stand in the faces themselves and carry on around both ends of the slab, so they belong to its profile rather than to a pattern applied to a flat side. Their spacing tightens where the material cooled first and opens out where it stayed liquid longest, which is why the bands are closer together at the ends of some slabs and closer in the middle of others. The top is ground level and polished, so the ripple reads at the edge and underfoot the seat is flat. The plate legs are cut from solid steel bar, dressed on all four faces and left slightly proud of the slab's underside so the whole weight bears on steel and not on an adhesive line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet the legs inboard and the slab appears to run past its own supports, which is worth having where the bench is seen side on - along a wall in a wide hallway, or under a long window. It is a comfortable seat height and low enough to double as a surface in a living room. Its depth is narrow, so it does not crowd a corridor. Keep it clear of a radiator: the ripple is the point of the piece and it shows best in even daylight rather than in heat-shimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRipple Density, the Inboard Legs, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The band spacing can be run coarser or finer, and the slab can be cast to another length on the same section. The legs can be moved out to the ends if you would rather the slab looked supported than cantilevered, and they can be brushed instead of polished. A slab this deep at this length is a solid mass of acrylic and needs careful handling, so allow two people and a clear run in. It travels with the legs off and the fixing holes already tapped, which keeps the crate flat and the assembly to one pass with a spanner. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slab rippled like stopped water belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; banded clear acrylic on inboard plates points to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long low seat for a living room sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Acrylic with Solid Steel Plate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001610391899,"sku":"Y002","price":11948.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y002.jpg?v=1790882256","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-rippled-slab-acrylic-bench-on-plate-legs-140cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
