A clear acrylic panel is dished along its whole length and both long edges are raised, so the top reads as a shallow channel and the middle of the bench sits a little below its edges. Under it is a chromed trestle, its two legs standing upright and joined by a rail under the seat. The panel is thick enough at the edges to show a bright line right along them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Seat Dished Along Its Length, Both Edges Raised\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDishing a panel along its length is a forming job rather than a cutting one, and the difficulty is keeping the section even: a panel pulled down in the middle wants to thin exactly where it is doing most work, so the blank starts thicker than the finished edge and the dish is taken slowly. Both long edges are raised in the same operation, which is why the curve runs continuously from one edge across the trough and up the other rather than reading as three separate moves. The trestle is chromed after welding so the joins disappear under the plating, and its rail is what keeps the legs square under a seat that will be sat on hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dished seat holds a sitter in the middle, which makes this a bench people use rather than pass: an entrance where boots come off, the end of a hall, a dressing room. The trough gathers light along its length and throws a bright line onto the floor beneath, so it does more out in a room than pushed against a wall. Both ends reach past the trestle and want to be left clear. It takes two adults at this length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDish Depth, Trestle Finish and Ordering to Length\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Dish depth is set at order and the panel is offered flat if the trough is not wanted. Edge height is open, and a single raised edge is available where the bench is to go against a wall. The trestle comes in this chrome, a brushed steel, a brass plate or a black powder coat, and the rail height is set at order. Length is cut to order. Panel and trestle travel apart, the panel crated on edge with the trough packed upward, and two people bolt them together where the bench stands. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seat dished between two raised edges belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a chromed trestle with its rail under the seat leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a bench for taking boots off at an entrance 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\u003e45cm\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 Chromed 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":54016828473691,"sku":"Y234","price":9720.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y234.jpg?v=1790890673","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-trough-panel-bench-on-a-chromed-trestle-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
