The pad runs the full length of the seat, and the black block is squared on every face and stands flat to the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Black Block at One End, Clear Acrylic at the Other\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seat is a single acrylic slab, cut and polished on all six faces, and it is bedded onto both supports across their whole contact rather than at points. The clear bracket is worked from solid and its two inner arrises are the hardest part: in clear acrylic an arris that wanders shows as a grey line from across a room. The pad is built to the finished slab so it sits without a gap at either end. The black block is finished on all four faces and flat underneath, because it carries half the seat and has to bear evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong enough to seat two side by side, it belongs in a hall, a dressing room or a wide landing, or across the foot of a bed. The two supports are different, so the piece has a front and a back worth deciding before it goes down, and the black block gives it enough weight at one end to sit steady on a soft floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Pad, the Bracket, and Ordering More Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. Most of it is the clear bracket end. You settle three things. The pad is made up in a fabric you supply, the black block is offered in another finish, and the bracket can be built at the other end instead. Seat length and seat height are each specified. The group is made as one so that the tone of the red pad reads the same on each piece. It is crated round the clear bracket and the upholstered pad and needs two people to walk it into place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear acrylic cut square and polished places this bench among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; as seating it belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and its blocky ends with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e135cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Acrylic with a Black Fibreglass Block and an Upholstered Pad\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53991436550491,"sku":"J586","price":7425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J586.jpg?v=1791387733","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-pad-clear-acrylic-and-black-plinth-bench-135cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
