{"product_id":"clear-teardrop-base-black-disc-top-side-table-50cm","title":"Clear Teardrop Base Black Disc Top Side Table - 50cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this side table two forms, one of clear cast resin and one of black-finished fibreglass, meet at a collar. Below is a solid teardrop of clear resin standing point up, bulbous and heavy at the floor and drawing to a narrow neck. Above the collar the material changes entirely: a matt black stem rises and widens into a wide flat disc, opaque and quite plain, that oversails the teardrop the whole way round. The clear form is read through and the black form is read against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Black Disc on a Clear Teardrop\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe join is a collar and the two halves either side of it could not be less alike. Below, a solid teardrop of clear resin stands point up: bulbous and heavy where it meets the floor, drawing to a narrow neck, and read through rather than at. Above, a matt black stem widens into a wide flat disc, opaque, unornamented, and oversailing the teardrop the whole way round so its shadow falls across the clear form beneath. One element gathers light and the other refuses it. The disc is also what makes the piece usable, since a teardrop alone offers nowhere to put anything down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 50cm the black disc comes level with the arm of a chair, ready for a lamp or a drink. The black disc hides marks that a clear top would show. The teardrop beneath needs light passing through it to be read at all; against a dark wall it becomes a silhouette and the piece loses half its interest. It is heavy at the base, which makes it stable but awkward to lift. For indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Teardrop, the Disc, and the Wait\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. Most of it is the teardrop base. Three choices are open. The disc is offered in other finishes and in a pale stone instead of black, the teardrop can be tinted, and the collar height between them is adjustable. The top diameter is open. The top diameter is yours to name, and so is the overall height. Ask for several together if the shape the teardrop takes needs to agree between them. In transit the wide black disc and the teardrop point must be boxed away from the sides; two people to set it down. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black disc and stem are finished fibreglass, which places the teardrop table in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fiberglass-sculptures\"\u003efibreglass sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; holding a lamp beside a chair it is working furniture for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and matt black meeting clear resin suits 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with a Finished Fibreglass Top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53980192571739,"sku":"J476","price":4252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J476.jpg?v=1791389495","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-teardrop-base-black-disc-top-side-table-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
