{"product_id":"red-disc-and-copper-lobed-base-acrylic-side-table-46cm","title":"Red Disc \u0026 Copper Lobed Base Acrylic Side Table - 46cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base of this side table is three curved lobes joined in one plated form, each rising straight from the floor to the underside of the top, and every face of it is mirror-electroplated. The plating reads copper where it faces the floor and almost black where it turns away, so the base changes colour as you walk round it. Above it sits a translucent red disc, its rim rounded over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Lobes Rising to Meet One Disc\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectroplating a compound curve is where this piece is won or lost. A mirror finish records every flaw in the substrate underneath it and magnifies it, so the three lobes have to be brought to a polish before any metal goes on, and a curve that changes direction twice has no flat to work from. The three are then plated together in one go, because a plating bath does not repeat exactly between runs and three lobes from three runs would read as three colours. The disc is cast separately in a red deep enough to hold its colour against the metal without going opaque, and its underside is polished so the plating shows through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA base that changes colour as you move wants to be walked round, so stand it away from the wall: alongside a chair, where a sofa run finishes, or out in the middle of a small room. At 46cm the disc sits at seat height. A pale floor throws light up into the plating and keeps the copper reading; over a dark floor the base closes to near-black and only the red disc registers. Keep the plated faces clear of a skirting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlating Colour, Disc Tint and a Two-Part Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. The plating is offered in other finishes, including a bright chrome and a darker gunmetal, and the disc is offered in a paler red, a deeper one or colourless. Disc size is cut to order and can be run out well past the lobes or brought in tight to them. The lobe count can be taken to four. Base and disc travel separately and the disc is set on last, which keeps a plated surface out of a stairwell under a load. The base is a two-person lift and every plated face travels sleeved, since a mirror finish shows a fingerprint let alone a scuff. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA translucent red disc with a rounded rim belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; plated lobes that shift from copper to near black lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stainless-steel-sculptures\"\u003estainless steel sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a table to stand free in the middle of a sitting room 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Cast Acrylic with Mirror-Electroplated Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016238649691,"sku":"Y144","price":3373.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y144.jpg?v=1790887330","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-disc-and-copper-lobed-base-acrylic-side-table-46cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
