Three bamboo-form columns in dark matt metal stand under the free end. The figure in the timber runs the length of the top and turns down the panel without a break at the corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Cantilevered L Held Up at One End\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure is chosen before anything is cut, because the top and the end panel are taken from the same board so the grain turns the corner without a break, and that single decision governs the whole look of the piece. The gloss is built up in successive coats and cut back between each one, which is the long part of the work. The three columns are made separately, finished matt so they take no reflection, and set under the free end where the cantilever needs them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts place is a hall or an entrance, against a stretch of wall it can have to itself. The end panel goes to the floor and the other end is carried on the columns, so it is not symmetrical: decide which end faces the door before it is set down. The gloss reflects, so it wants a wall worth reflecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Columns, the Timber, and Fixing It Down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Most of it is the bamboo column work. There are three open questions. The species and the figure of the timber are both yours to choose, the columns can be supplied in a polished finish, and the cantilever can be shortened where the run of wall is tighter. Top length and overall height are cut to your figures. Both pieces of a pair share the figure in the timber top when they are ordered together. The top edges and the three columns must be wrapped before anything else goes in the crate, and four people lift it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree bamboo-form columns under a glossy timber L relate this console to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; in an entrance it serves among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and a hall wall among 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\u003e140cm\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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFigured Timber and Dark Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53990933430619,"sku":"J529","price":15526.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J529.jpg?v=1791394695","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/figured-timber-top-bamboo-column-console-220cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
