{"product_id":"grey-bubbled-free-form-top-gold-stem-low-table-82cm","title":"Grey Bubbled Free-Form Top Gold Stem Low Table - 82cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top of this low table has no straight edge. It is cast free-form, wandering in and out of a rough oval, and its whole body carries a dense field of bubbles that reads grey where they crowd and almost clear where they thin. It sits low on a gold-plated trumpet stem that opens out to a round plated foot. Top and stem are the only two parts, and the stem is the only opaque one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Field of Bubbles Held in a Free-Form Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBubbles in a casting are usually the fault you work to avoid, so putting them in on purpose means controlling them instead. The field has to be even enough to read as a decision and irregular enough not to read as a pattern, and every bubble that breaks the surface has to be closed before the top is finished or the face is left pitted. The free-form edge is cut after the cast rather than moulded, which is the only way to get an outline that does not repeat, and it is then rolled so it catches light the whole way round. The stem is plated brass and its trumpet is formed rather than turned from solid, since a solid trumpet at this size would put more weight in the base than the top asks for. Foot and stem are plated in one go to hold a single gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA free-form top has no front, so this is a table to walk round: in the middle of a seating group, beside a chair with nothing behind it, or out on a rug where the outline can be seen whole. The bubbles answer light from above, so a pendant or a downlight does more for it than a window does. Its top comes to roughly the height of a sofa cushion and takes a tray without ceremony. A plain floor is kinder to it than a patterned one, since the field is already busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBubble Density, Stem Plating and a Two-Part Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. Bubble density is set at order and moves the piece further than its colour does: crowded reads as grey stone, thinned reads as glass with a haze. The grey can be taken toward a smoke or a warm champagne, and a colourless version is offered. The outline is cut to order and can be run out toward a rough circle or drawn in tighter. Stem plating comes in this gold, a brighter brass, a chrome or a black. Top and stem travel separately, the top on edge in a crate, and the two are joined on site through a plate under the top. The top is a two-person lift and the stem a one-person carry. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA free-form top with no front belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a gold trumpet stem over a plated foot leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a table to walk round in a seating group 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\u003e49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey Bubbled Cast Acrylic with Gold-Plated Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016469467483,"sku":"Y192","price":4725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y192.jpg?v=1790889880","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/grey-bubbled-free-form-top-gold-stem-low-table-82cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
