The whole stem stands on a polished stainless steel disc, the only part that is not clear, and a faint green shows at the edges of the top and the collars where the material is seen through its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Solid Clear Spheres Over a Steel Disc\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA solid sphere is a demanding shape to make clear. It is thickest at its middle, so any haze in the material gathers there and shows as a cloud, and the polish has to run unbroken over a surface with no flat on it anywhere. Each sphere is turned and polished until no haze is left in it, and the three are graded from the small one under the disc to the full one at the foot, so the stem swells as it comes down. The collars between them are stacked from flat discs, each polished at its edge so it shows as a fine bright line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive a stacked stem room to be seen sideways rather than pressing it up against an arm: alongside a chair, out in a bay, or where a run of seating finishes. At 70cm the disc is above the arm of most seats and suits a lamp as well as a glass. Each solid sphere holds a small upturned picture of the room around it, so a window or a lamp nearby gives the stem something bright to gather. The steel foot is the visual anchor and reflects the floor, so a plain floor helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSphere Count, a Tint and the Polished Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBespoke commissions take 5–6 weeks; standard pieces take 3–4. Sphere count can be taken to two to bring the disc down or to four to raise it, and the disc is cut to the size wanted. A tint can be put through the spheres alone or through the whole piece, and the foot is offered brushed or in a darker metal. Disc, stem and foot travel as three items and assemble on arrival, which keeps the spheres out of a stairwell as one column. One person can manage the stem. The disc wants two people, taken at opposite edges, since a chamfered rim is easy to chip. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree solid spheres that swell toward the foot belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a polished steel disc under a clear stem leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a lamp table alongside an armchair joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Acrylic with Polished Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54015817482587,"sku":"Y133","price":2765.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y133.jpg?v=1790887280","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-stacked-sphere-acrylic-side-table-on-steel-foot-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
