A light strip is fitted along the underside, so the bench lights along its whole length and the worked face glows from below instead of at one point. Both ends reach out past their blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Textured Panel Sitting Close to the Floor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking a texture into acrylic this deep is a different job from etching a sheet, because the tool has to leave a mark the eye reads at the face while the panel keeps its depth behind it: too shallow and the texture goes when the strip is on, too deep and the panel loses its surface. The lines are run the length of the panel in one direction only, since a cross-hatch breaks the light into flecks instead of carrying it. The blocks are steel faced in brass rather than solid brass, which keeps weight out of a piece that is already heavy, and each stands a good way inside its own end of the panel, which leaves the seat looking carried by nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bench this close to the floor is not a seat you get up from in a hurry, so it belongs where sitting is optional: along a hall wall, across the end of a bed, in a window, or as a platform for books and a tray. The light decides where it goes - against a pale wall the strip washes the wall, and out in a room it reads only on the panel itself. Leave both overhangs clear so the panel reads as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStrip Colour, Block Finish and Setting It Down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The strip is offered in a warm white, a cool white or a colour-changing run, and it can be left out altogether. Panel thickness is open and the texture can be opened out to a coarse break or closed to a fine tooth. The blocks come in brass, a darker bronze, chrome or a black powder coat, and where they sit along the panel is set at order. Length is cut to order. Panel and blocks travel separately and the panel is a three-person lift; it is set onto its blocks in place and nothing is fixed to the floor. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA close texture lit from below belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; blocks faced in brass beneath a lit panel lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a low platform for books in a window 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\u003e23cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Acrylic with Stainless Steel and an LED Strip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016469598555,"sku":"Y194","price":6615.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y194.jpg?v=1790889892","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-textured-panel-lit-bench-on-brass-blocks-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
