The halves meet across the top along a wavy line, each edge following the curves of the other. One half is forged stainless steel, dark and so highly polished that it reads almost black; the other is a deep red resin streaked through with darker grain. The steel is the left half and the red the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Wavy Seam Between Polished Steel and Red Resin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo different materials make this table rather than two tints of one, so the join runs between metal and casting. That changes everything about how the halves behave. The steel is opaque and mirror-polished, so it reflects the floor and the room as a compressed dark band and gives away nothing of its own thickness. The red is dense with grain, dark streaks running down through it like the figure in a polished hardwood, deepening to maroon under the top edge and brightening towards the floor. Between them the wavy join runs as a narrow dark groove, and because the two materials take light so differently it reads as the hardest edge on the object from any angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a coffee table to stand among low seating, and it wants to be walked round: from one side it is a dark polished mass, from the other a streaked red one, and only from the front or from above do both halves and the join read together. The top is level in both halves. On a pale floor the grain of the red half shows clearly; on a dark one the steel half becomes a mirror of the room. It is worth keeping clear of a wall so the lobed plan can be followed. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Line Runs, and Which Half Is Metal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. The forging is what accounts for the work. Where the join runs is the first decision, from this wandering interlock through to a simple curve or a straight cut across, and each gives a quite different object. Which half is metal is second, since a right-hand steel half reverses the whole reading in a room lit from one side. The third is the pairing itself: steel with red as here, steel with clear, or two resin halves for a piece with no metal in it at all. Plan and height are drawn to your own outline. It arrives on a purpose-built pallet in one crate, already joined, and a table with a steel half of this size wants four people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForged steel against streaked red resin makes this low table part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the metal half ties it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the polished finish to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e105cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForged Stainless Steel with 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":53966857961819,"sku":"J208","price":9382.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J208.jpg?v=1791388726","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/forged-steel-and-red-resin-two-half-low-table-105cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
