Under it sits a single orange base, deeply fluted from top to bottom and gathered inward as it meets the floor, and the glass overhangs it by a long way at both ends so the top appears to float clear of its support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Glass Plank on a Pleated Orange Drum\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe overhang is the whole effect: the base occupies only the middle of the length, so from either end the table is a black line in the air with a block of colour beneath its centre. The flutes are deep and irregular, some broad and some tight, falling the full height of the base like heavy cloth and drawing in at the foot, which narrows the footprint and makes the base read as a gathered form rather than a plinth. The orange has a soft satin finish and the glass a hard black gloss, so each catches the light in its own way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt dining height it seats eight to ten, and with one central base there are no legs to fight the chairs for space, wherever they are drawn up. It wants a room with clearance to walk both long sides, and it is at its best where the ends can be seen against a plain floor. The orange is the loudest thing in any room it goes into, so the walls and floor around it want to be quiet. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Printed Base, and What It Costs to Move\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The base is 3D printed, which is how folds this deep and this uneven are carried down to a narrow foot. It is also the reason the base is offered in other colours from the studio range at no change to the geometry. Length is made to order and the glass is specified black, smoked, bronze or clear, though clear glass loses the floating line entirely. On moving it: the glass travels flat in its own case and the base on a pallet, and the top is placed last by four people, lowered square rather than slid, because a panel this long with this much overhang will not take being levered into position. A hard level approach and a straight run from the door are worth checking before the order. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolded orange under black glass makes a strong current statement for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; as a dining table it belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and as a room piece to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrinted Base with Glass Top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53957869502811,"sku":"J155","price":32741.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J155.jpg?v=1791385412","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/orange-fluted-base-black-glass-dining-table-280cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
