{"product_id":"grey-graded-rod-bundle-acrylic-side-table-49cm","title":"Grey Graded Rod Bundle Acrylic Side Table - 49cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn this acrylic table a clear disc oversails the bundle of rods beneath it. The rods that carry it are graded grey, deep at the head and clear at the floor. Because the disc is wider than the bundle by a good margin on every side, the rod ends are visible through it from above as a ring of circles, and from a seated height the top appears to rest on nothing at its rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Clear Disc Oversailing a Grey Bundle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn overhanging clear top over a rodded base is mostly a problem of what you can see through it. Every rod end shows through the disc, so any rod cut a fraction short reads as a gap in the ring and any rod cut long lifts the disc off the others. The bundle is faced as a group after assembly so all the ends arrive on one plane, and the disc is then seated on that plane rather than on a spacer. The grey is a harder tint to grade than a colour: with no hue to carry it the eye reads the change as a change in clarity, so the run has to be long and even or the bundle looks dirty rather than graded. The disc's own edge is brought up bright, which is what separates it from the grey below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide clear top on a narrow base makes this the table to put where floor space is short but surface is wanted - beside a chair in a bay, at the turn of a stair, in a narrow hall. At 49cm it sits low for a lamp and right for a book and a glass. Grey asks for very little attention, so it will not fight a patterned rug or a painting behind it. Set it where light comes from above if you can: overhead light puts the ring of rod ends on show through the disc, which is the whole trick of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Overhang, the Grey, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. The overhang can be brought in toward the bundle or taken further out, and the disc is available cut square. The grey can be replaced with a colour or left out for a fully clear table, and the rod count can be changed. The bundle comes assembled and the disc travels flat beside it, seating onto the faced rod ends on arrival with no fixings, so nothing wider than the disc needs to come through a door. Two hands are enough for either part. The disc is sleeved on both faces, as a clear top shows a scuff from any angle once it is in daylight. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear disc oversailing a grey bundle belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; rod ends ringed beneath the top lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a small table for a tight bay 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\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Grey Rodded Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003699581275,"sku":"Y033","price":2564.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y033.jpg?v=1790883258","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/grey-graded-rod-bundle-acrylic-side-table-49cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
