The frame beneath is brushed metal and set well in from the ends, so a good stretch of the slab reaches out past it at either end and the bench sits well below the seat of a dining chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTorn Down Both Long Sides\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTearing an edge this deep is a different operation from cutting one. The long faces are broken back in stages rather than sawn, so the line of the break wanders along the length instead of running straight the way a blade would take it. What comes away is a shell of coarse facets, each one catching light at its own angle, and the result is an edge that reads bright white against a top that has been flatted and polished to clear. Because the break follows the casting's own grain, no two benches carry the same profile - the depth of the torn zone varies along the length and the facets are broader where the section cooled slowest. The frame is welded from box section, the welds dressed back flush, and the whole thing brushed in one direction so it holds a soft grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seat is low, which makes this a bench for a room people relax in rather than a hallway: by a fireplace, along the foot of a bed, or beside a low table where its height matches. Being shallow from front to back, it will pass along a tight corridor without becoming an obstacle. Give it light from the side if you can. The torn faces are what the eye goes to, and side light rakes across the facets instead of flattening them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Frame Span, the Section, and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The torn zone can be run deeper or kept shallow, and the frame can be widened toward the full length if you would rather the overhangs ran less far. Polished metal is available in place of the brushed finish. A slab this deep is a solid mass of acrylic, and the overhangs mean it must be lifted from beneath the frame rather than by the ends of the slab; two people and a clear route are needed. The frame travels separately and the slab is crated on its flat, so nothing bears on a torn face in transit. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTorn faces down both long sides belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; a broken clear edge over brushed metal opens onto our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a low seat by a fireplace joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e40.5cm\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\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Acrylic with Brushed Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001610457435,"sku":"Y003","price":12623.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y003.jpg?v=1790882261","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-torn-edge-acrylic-bench-on-brushed-frame-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
