{"product_id":"colourless-sculpted-underside-resin-bench-90cm","title":"Colourless Sculpted Underside Resin Bench - 90cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeen from the front this cast resin bench is a plain rectangular block with square edges and a flat top. Everything interesting is underneath. The bottom two thirds of the mass is worked into flowing rounded forms that hang and fold like drapery, and through the middle of them a single wide arch is cut clear from front to back, so the block stands on two irregular feet. The resin is colourless throughout, and because the sculpted surfaces sit inside a clear outer face the whole underside reads as a pattern held under glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlain Above, Sculpted Underneath\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bench is two objects in one block. Above, it is plain: square edges, flat top, nothing to look at. Below, the bottom two thirds of the mass is worked into rounded flowing forms that hang and fold, and a single wide arch is cut clear through from front to back so the whole thing stands on two irregular feet. Because those sculpted surfaces sit inside a clear outer face, they are seen through material rather than directly, which softens them and gives the underside a depth that a surface carving would not have. The colourless resin makes the contrast work: with no tint, the plain upper block almost disappears and the sculpted underside is what the eye finds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works as a bench in a hall or at the foot of a bed, and equally as a low table beside a sofa. Its interest is underneath, so it wants to be seen from a seated position and to stand clear of a rug rather than sinking into one; a hard floor beneath it is worth more than a soft one. Light from the side reaches into the arch and shows the sculpted forms, and overhead light does not. It is heavy and should be placed once. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Arch, the Block, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The sculpted underside sets the pace here. Three points are open. The length is open, the arch can be cut wider or narrower, and the block is offered tinted as well as clear. The sculpted underside is worked differently on every piece and cannot be specified in detail. Overall length and overall height are settled at order. Several ordered together are worked so that the shape of the arch through the underside agrees. It ships with the thin edges of the arch protected and wants two people to position it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlain above and sculpted below, this clear bench has its place among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the draped underside suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a hall or bedroom setting our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e50cm\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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear 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":53971459539291,"sku":"J354","price":5804.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J354.jpg?v=1791391695","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/colourless-sculpted-underside-resin-bench-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
