{"product_id":"folded-clear-slab-and-gold-block-resin-bench-260cm","title":"Folded Clear Slab \u0026 Gold Block Resin Bench - 260cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrosted clear resin makes the long plank of this bench, level for most of its run until, at one end, it bends sharply downward to meet the floor on a foot of its own. At the other end it is carried on a block finished in matt gold whose faces are worked into deep irregular hollows, as though material has been washed out of them, and that block is where the two versions part: one is supplied with it and one is the slab on its own. Between the two supports the slab spans open. Its upper face is coarsely textured and its underside left smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Slab That Folds Down to the Floor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece is asymmetric on purpose and the two ends do quite different jobs. At one end the slab simply turns through a right angle and drops to the floor, standing on its own folded foot, so the material is both top and leg with no join between them. At the other it sits on a block finished in matt gold whose faces are worked into deep irregular hollows, opaque where the slab is translucent and rough where the slab is flat. Between the two the slab spans open with nothing beneath it. Its upper face is coarsely textured, which is what makes it read as ice rather than glass, while the underside is left smooth so the span looks thinner than it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a hall or gallery piece and it needs a long run of clear wall. It has a definite orientation: the gold block should sit at the end people arrive from, and the folded end reads best against open floor. The floor under both must be level, because one end stands on resin and the other on the block. Very heavy, arrives in parts, six people. Indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Fold, the Block, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. Most of it is the folded end, and that end is on both versions. Three things can change. The length is open, the gold block can be finished in silver or a dark bronze, and the slab is offered clear as well as frosted. Which end the fold falls on is your choice. Tell us the overall length and the top thickness. Put the whole order in at once and the pattern eroded into the gold block carries across every piece. Packed with the folded end where the slab meets the floor shielded, it needs four people at the door; the gold block travels boxed apart and is only in the crate on the version that includes it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted slab folding to the floor at one end belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the eroded gold block relates it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fiberglass-sculptures\"\u003efibreglass sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the asymmetry to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e76cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin, with a Finished Fibreglass Block on One Version\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Slab and Gold Block","offer_id":53972417806683,"sku":"J418-V1","price":23154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Slab Alone","offer_id":54052529045851,"sku":"J418-V2","price":20319.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J418.jpg?v=1791393827","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/folded-clear-slab-and-gold-block-resin-bench-260cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
