{"product_id":"clear-wave-banded-machined-resin-plinth-48cm","title":"Clear Wave-Banded Machined Resin Plinth - 48cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plinth is a cylinder machined from high-clarity resin rather than cast to shape, and three broad bands of wave are worked round it at intervals up its height. The bands are left frosted where everything either side of them is polished clear, so the piece reads as three cloudy rings floating in a colourless column. Its top is flat and polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Bands of Wave Round a Machined Cylinder\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wave worked round a cylinder has to close on itself, which is the whole difficulty: the pattern is cut with the work turning, and the last crest has to meet the first at exactly the same height or the band reads as a spiral instead of a ring. Each of the three is cut separately and then left frosted rather than polished, because the frost is what makes the wave visible at all - polished, it would vanish into the clear body around it. The rest of the cylinder is brought to an optical polish afterwards, and the boundary between frost and polish is worked to a clean line, since a feathered edge there reads as a mistake rather than a decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 48cm this is a plinth for something you want at coffee-table height rather than at eye level: a bowl, a small figure, a plant. Stand it next to a chair, alongside a sofa, or in a group of two or three set at different heights. The frosted bands are what carry it, and side light does more for them than a downlight ever will. On a dark floor the clear sections go and the three rings appear to hang on their own, which is the effect worth arranging for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBand Count, Finish Contrast and How It Travels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. Band count is set at order and can go from one broad wave to five narrow ones, and the wave depth is open. The contrast can be reversed so the bands are polished and the body frosted, and a tint is offered through the whole cylinder in a smoke or an amber. Diameter and height are cut to order, and a set at three heights is scheduled as one lot so the bands align across them. It travels upright as one machined piece in a fitted crate and is a one-person carry. The frosted bands are the part that marks, so the sleeve comes off last. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrosted waves floating in a clear column belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a cylinder machined from high-clarity resin leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a low plinth for a sofa's end 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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWave-Cut High-Clarity Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016470483291,"sku":"Y207","price":4455.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y207.jpg?v=1790889960","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-wave-banded-machined-resin-plinth-48cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
