The top is a broad disc, level but not flat: it ripples in concentric swells that all share one off-centre origin. Below it the mass does not stop at legs. It continues as a full skirt reaching almost to the floor, and that skirt is cut away into deep rounded hollows and standing ribs, pierced right through by an arch on each side, so the table touches the ground at four or five points only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Skirt Rather Than Legs, Pierced on Every Side\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the material comes all the way down. There are no legs: the top's edge turns under and becomes a continuous wall, and that wall is then worked away until only ribs and arches remain. The result is that the table has an inside. Looking through any one arch you see the ribs of the far side, doubled and displaced by the material between, and the floor beneath appears at a different level through each opening. The ribs stand deepest where they meet the top and taper as they descend, so they read dark at the shoulder and almost vanish at the foot. Above, the rippled top is disciplined by comparison, its swells regular and its outline a clean circle, and the two halves meet on a hard horizontal line all the way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt should stand where a seating group gathers, with open floor all round, because the arches are what it is for, and a wall at its back would hide half of them. The top is level enough for trays, books and a bowl. A pale hard floor beneath it shows the arch shadows; a patterned rug comes up through the whole slab and competes with the ripples, so a plain ground serves it better. Light from a low window reaches into the hollows and separates the ribs. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Arches, the Depth of the Working, and the Ripples Above\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The arches come first: one on each side as here, one pair only for a table with a solid front and back, or none, which leaves a closed drum. Then the depth of the working on the skirt, from this deep cut with standing ribs to a shallow relief that keeps the wall reading as a wall. Then the top, which can carry these concentric ripples, a single sweep across the whole oval, or a plain polished face. Plan and height are drawn for each commission. Palletised in one crate, with four people wanted for a slab of this weight. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorn hollows and standing ribs link this table to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the clear body places it among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a skirted low table of this weight belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\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\u003e41cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Clarity Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53966602404187,"sku":"J163","price":9040.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J163.jpg?v=1791385861","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/colourless-eroded-skirt-cast-resin-low-table-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
