Its top is a heavy disc of smoked grey resin, rippled over its entire upper face in fine, close ridges that run across it in loose parallel waves, so that no part of it looks flat. Below it stands a brass drum, narrower than the disc so the top overhangs all round, and fluted vertically in narrow bands from its base to its head. The brass is a warm satin rather than a mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFine Ripples Above, Vertical Flutes Below\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two halves of this table are set against each other on purpose. The top is all movement: ripples of varying width and depth running in loose waves across the disc, catching the light in short bright arcs, with no repeat anywhere in it. The base is all order: a close ring of identical vertical flutes running the full height of the drum, each one holding a straight highlight from top to bottom. Because the smoked top overhangs and stays transparent, the brass shows through the disc at the perimeter as a dimmed warm ring, and the ripples break that ring into a hundred short pieces, which is the one place the two systems meet. The brass is satin, so it gives a soft even glow rather than reflections, and it keeps its warmth in cool light. Seen from a standing position the ripples read as a texture; from a seated one they read as individual forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a coffee table, and a large round one, so it suits a seating group arranged all the way round rather than an L. The top is level enough for anything, though a small object will find a hollow. The rippled face rewards a light overhead, which sets every ridge glinting at once; a single low window instead picks out one arc and leaves the rest quiet. The drum base takes no floor space beyond its own diameter, so chairs pull in close. On a dark rug the brass is the strongest thing on the piece. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Ripple Depth, and the Metal Under It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery standard piece is made in 3–4 weeks, and every bespoke commission in 5–6. The work splits between the top and the base. The ripple work is the first choice, from this fine close pattern to a bolder swell that reads from across a room, or a plain polished disc with no working at all. The metal is the second: this satin brass, a polished brass that turns the flutes into mirrors, a blackened steel, or a stainless that cools the whole piece down. And the flute count on the drum, which changes it from a fine pleat to a set of broad staves. Top diameter and base height are set separately. Top and base travel apart and bolt together on site with the key supplied. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRippled smoked resin on a ring of brass flutes is part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the fluted drum suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the water-like top our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmoked Cast Resin with Fluted Brass Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53965366034779,"sku":"J156","price":7826.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J156.jpg?v=1791385417","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/smoked-rippled-top-and-fluted-brass-drum-table-110cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
