Olive and gold run through the middle of the floor and darken toward the rim, which is the reverse of most vessels here. A black metal lattice is supplied under it, and the dish sits down into the bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Floor That Holds Itself Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ripple in the floor is there to hold the span up, and being handsome is the second thing it does: a corrugated sheet is stiffer than a flat one, and the ripples are set to run the short way over the floor for that reason. Putting the strongest colour at the centre and letting it go at the edge makes the dish read as full when it is empty, which is the opposite of what a glaze usually does. A body this wide and this shallow would sag in almost anything else, and the rippled floor is doing structural work before it does anything decorative. Polished over a floor that is deliberately uneven, so what falls on it is broken up rather than returned flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dining table or a long sideboard, used or empty. The lattice is busy on its own, so keep what is behind it quiet. Light from above passes through the floor and prints the ripples on the table under it. The long low line is what reads from the door, and the ripples are a matter for the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDeeper Ripples, and How It Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. The ripples are drawn deeper, the olive is exchanged for blue, and the lattice is made in a brushed finish. Deepen the ripples and the floor is thickened to take them, which adds weight the lattice then has to carry. Lattice and dish travel apart in one crate, and the dish is set down into the bars once the lattice is standing level. One person, carried by the lattice and not by the rim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rippled olive dish carried on black bars belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its lattice stand links it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and it holds its own on a long surface among 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\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin in Olive and Gold on Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101665022299,"sku":"Z479","price":2362.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z479.jpg?v=1790774704","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/olive-and-gold-rippled-resin-and-metal-dish-sculpture-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
