{"product_id":"red-graded-ribbed-u-frame-acrylic-side-table-52cm","title":"Red Graded Ribbed U-Frame Acrylic Side Table - 52cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rounded square ribbed across its whole face makes the top of this side table, so the surface reads as a run of close parallel lines. It sits on two side panels ribbed the same way, and those panels are tied to each other by three stretchers running between them below the top, which is what makes the frame read as a U from either side. The red is strongest at the top and clears toward the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRibs Across the Top and Down Both Side Panels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibbing a top and its side panels to the same pitch means the ribs have to meet at the corner, and that is the detail that decides whether the piece looks made or assembled: a rib arriving half a pitch out at the junction is visible from across a room. The top is ribbed across its width and the panels down their height, so the two runs cross at right angles and the corner is worked by hand until each rib finds its neighbour. The stretchers are let into both panels rather than butted against them, since a butted stretcher in acrylic shows its glue line. The grade is laid in at the cast, which is why it survives the ribbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ribbed top scatters light instead of reflecting it, so this is the acrylic side table that will sit beside a window without throwing a glare into the room. At 52cm it sits a little above a chair arm, which suits a reading chair or a corner where you want a surface you can see without leaning. The three stretchers make the underside part of the object, so it reads better out from a wall than pushed against one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRib Pitch, Stretcher Count and Ordering Several\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. Rib pitch is set at order and can be opened to a broad flute or closed to a fine reed, and the top is offered plain with only the panels ribbed. Stretcher count is open - three is the balance we would choose, but one or five work and their height is set at order. The red can be run from the floor upward instead, taken through an amber, a green or a smoke, or left out. Size is made to your own dimensions. It arrives assembled in a crate and is a two-person carry, and where several are wanted they are tinted in the same run so they answer each other. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRibs that meet at every corner belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a U-frame tied by three stretchers leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and a reading-chair table by a bright window 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Red Fluted Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016471302491,"sku":"Y228","price":3037.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y228.jpg?v=1790890654","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-graded-ribbed-u-frame-acrylic-side-table-52cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
