The seat is clear acrylic worked all over its upper face into close horizontal striations, so the surface reads as brushed water rather than as a polished plane. Beneath it a mirror-polished steel trestle spans only the middle of that length, which leaves the slab reaching past its support at both ends by a good hand's width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Striated Slab on a Narrow Trestle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStriating a face is a subtractive job and the depth of cut is the whole control. Taken too fine the surface simply looks scratched; taken too deep it stops being comfortable to sit on at all. The cut here is set so the striations read clearly from a standing height and disappear under the hand, and that depth has to hold across the full length - a cutter losing a fraction of its bite shows as a bright band across the seat. The trestle is welded from square steel and mirrored on the outer faces, and the two feet are trued together after welding, since a trestle that rocks under a cantilevered slab will show at the overhanging ends first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt seats two, and at a relaxed height, so this is a bench for pausing rather than settling: a boot room, a dressing area, the space outside a bathroom. Its shallow depth keeps it out of the traffic. The mirror trestle picks up the floor and largely disappears into it, so over a dark floor the striated slab appears to hang in the air, and over a pale one the trestle reads as two bright uprights. Side light is what makes the striations show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Trestle Span, the Striations, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. The striation depth and spacing can both be specified, and the face can be left plain if you want a polished seat. The trestle is available brushed rather than mirrored, and its span can be taken out toward the ends of the slab if you would rather nothing overhung. Slab and trestle travel separately and bolt together from beneath with the fixings supplied, so an awkward room is no obstacle - nothing in the crate runs past the length of the top. Two people should lift the slab, from beneath rather than by the overhangs. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA striated slab on a narrow trestle belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; brushed-water striations over mirror steel lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a bench for a boot room 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Acrylic with Mirror-Polished Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003699745115,"sku":"Y037","price":5940.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y037.jpg?v=1790883278","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-striated-slab-acrylic-bench-on-steel-trestle-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
