Its two supports do not match: at one end a heavy black rock form carries it, with a second, lesser rock breaking up through the surface directly above, and at the other a single thin clear resin blade set on edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Rock, One Blade, and a Deliberate Imbalance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetry is the whole idea and it is worth understanding before choosing an end for it. The rock end is dark, matt, heavily broken and visually very heavy: it reads as the anchor, and the small rock coming up through the top above it ties the two together so the support looks continuous with the table rather than under it. The blade end is the opposite in every way, a flat clear fin no thicker than a book, set square to the length, which from some angles disappears entirely and leaves the top apparently unsupported at that end. The top itself is worked all over, with the ripples running lengthways and breaking into finer chop near the perimeter, and the edge is left irregular so the sheet reads as water rather than as glass. Every rock is different, so the balance shifts a little from one table to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding at true console height, it belongs against a wall, behind a sofa or along a hallway rather than in the middle of a room, and its depth holds a lamp beside a tray without crowding. The asymmetry means the piece has a strong side and a weak one: put the rock end towards the room and the blade end towards a corner, because the blade needs a plain ground behind it to read at all. It suits a hallway, a wide landing, a dining room wall or a reception area. Light along the wall rather than straight down brings the ripples up. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich End Takes the Rock, and the Options on Both Supports\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The first question at order is handing: the rock can be at the left or the right, and it should be decided from the room rather than left to the studio, since swapping it afterwards means a new top. The rock end can also be built as a pair of rocks for a symmetrical table, which loses the imbalance but suits a console seen from both sides. For the top, length and depth are chosen at order; the ripple can be run fine or coarse. On the supports: the rock is black as standard, with a mid grey and a warm brown available, and the clear blade can be made in a smoke tint or replaced with a second rock. Height can also be set for a table to sit at. It arrives in three crates, the rock, the blade and the top, and the top locates onto both supports under its own weight with nothing to fix; two people can manage the blade and the top, and the rock is a two-person lift on its own. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rippled top balanced on rock and blade belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the rock links it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fiberglass-sculptures\"\u003efibreglass sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its sculptural stance to 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\u003e88cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin with Fibreglass Rock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53958557335899,"sku":"J347","price":9248.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J347.jpg?v=1791387299","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-rippled-top-console-table-on-a-black-rock-180cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
