{"product_id":"dark-timber-top-one-clear-leg-console-220cm","title":"Dark Timber Top One Clear Leg Console - 220cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top of this console is a long run of solid dark timber, with square edges and an open grain left visible under the finish. It stands on two legs that were never meant to match: a heavy timber block at one end, cut from the same stock as the top, and a clear acrylic panel at the other. One end of the console therefore reads as solid and the other as almost nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Legs That Do Not Match, and That Is the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo unlike legs under one top is a balance problem before it is an aesthetic one. The timber block is heavy and the acrylic panel is not, so the top is fixed differently at each end: the block takes fixings that leave the timber free to move with the seasons, while the panel is bonded and bolted to a plate let into the underside. The panel is also made thicker than it looks necessary, because a clear leg that flexes reads as a fault in the whole piece even when it is carrying its load perfectly well. The timber is finished on all faces including the underside, since the acrylic end lets you see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a console for a wall you walk along rather than one you stand in front of, because the two ends are different and the walk is what shows it. The solid end wants to be the one you meet first. A console this long needs a real wall, such as an entrance or a wide landing. Put the acrylic leg where light reaches it; in a dark corner it simply disappears and the console looks unsupported at one end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTimber Choice, Panel Tint and a Two-Part Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. The timber is offered in this dark stain, an oiled oak, a walnut or a painted finish, and top thickness is open. The acrylic panel comes clear, in a smoke, an amber or a blue, and its width is set at order - narrow it and the console leans further toward looking unsupported. Which end takes which leg is your choice and should be given at order. Length is cut to order. Top, block and panel travel separately and the top is a three-person lift; the two legs are fitted in place with a screwdriver and one spanner. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA timber block and a clear panel under one top belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a console built to be walked along leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long timber top for an open landing 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\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid Timber with a Clear Acrylic Leg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016471171419,"sku":"Y222","price":8033.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y222.jpg?v=1790890644","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/dark-timber-top-one-clear-leg-console-220cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
