{"product_id":"plum-ribbed-hourglass-cast-acrylic-side-table-68cm","title":"Plum Ribbed Hourglass Cast Acrylic Side Table - 68cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is an hourglass in plum-tinted acrylic. A flaring dish sits above, ribbed in fine concentric rings that run out to the rim, and below it a wide flat flange narrows down to a small foot. The plum goes almost black where the flange is deepest and opens to a clear rose across the ribbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Hourglass Ribbed in Concentric Rings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ribbing is turned into the mould face and runs true in concentric rings out to the rim, and the pitch does not open up where the dish flares. The waist is the thinnest part of the piece and the part that decides whether the casting is sound. The flange below is polished on both faces, top and underside, since a wide flat flange on a pale floor shows everything beneath it, and the small foot is worked last so the piece stands without a rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeside an armchair it serves as a table, or it holds a lamp on its own, and the wide flange keeps it from tipping when something is set down off centre. Light coming in low across the rings is what makes them read, so a lamp to one side does more for it than a downlight overhead. The flange also keeps it clear of a skirting, so it can stand tight against a wall without the dish touching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Ribbing, the Flange, and Where It Sits Best\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. Most of it is the concentric ribbing. Three things are yours to choose. The ribbing can be turned at a coarser or a finer pitch, the plum can be replaced with another tint, and the flange can be made narrower. Dish diameter and overall height are cut to your figures. Every piece in a single order is worked so the pitch of the concentric ribbing agrees. The crate is built so nothing touches the ribbed dish and the flange edge; two people take it from there. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor plum acrylic ribbed in fine rings and drawn in to a waist, see our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its flange and flaring dish also suit our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e55.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlum-Tinted Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53990978584923,"sku":"J539","price":5805.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J539.jpg?v=1791390202","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/plum-ribbed-hourglass-cast-acrylic-side-table-68cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
