It sits on a charcoal metal drum whose whole face is cut into close vertical flutes, and the two do opposite things with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Running Wave Over a Fluted Drum\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wave is modelled into both mould faces so the crests enter the material from above and below, which is why it holds at different depths across the top rather than sitting in one plane. The flutes on the drum are turned and hold their pitch the whole way round. The top is polished to a mirror and the drum is left matt: a fluted face that took a reflection would compete with the wave above it and neither would read. The top is bedded onto the drum across its whole rim rather than at points, so nothing bears on a single spot of resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a coffee table to anchor a seating arrangement, and its round plan has no front or back. The metal drum is matt, so it will not throw the room back at you, and a plain floor suits the wave better than a pattern that would read up through it. It is heavy for its footprint, so the position is worth deciding before it is set down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Wave, the Flutes, and Ordering a Pair\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The fluted drum is the slow part. There are three decisions. The wave pitch is drawn to order, the drum is offered in a brushed or a blackened metal, and the top can be tinted. Neither the top diameter nor the drum height is fixed. Where two or more are wanted, the run of the wave across the top is held the same across the group. Nothing bears on the wave-cut top edge and the fluted drum in transit, and two people are enough to place it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fluted charcoal drum under a running wave relates the table to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; in front of a long sofa it fills a place in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and the wave suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Top on a Metal Drum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53992082112859,"sku":"J621","price":4590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J621.jpg?v=1791395456","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-wave-top-fluted-metal-drum-coffee-table-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
