The colour gathers in the middle as a soft terracotta and pales toward the petal tips. Under it stands a black base, finely ribbed from a narrow neck out to a wide foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Top Modelled as an Open Flower, Rim and All\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling a top as a flower means the rim is the last thing decided and the hardest, because every scallop has to finish at the same radius or the table looks buckled from across a room, and a scallop is a curve you cannot true up with a straight edge. The petals are laid up from the centre outward so each one keeps an even section to its tip, and the terracotta is introduced at the middle of the pour and allowed to thin outward, which is why the colour follows the petals rather than sitting on them. The base is ribbed all the way round its taper, and the ribs are set out from the foot upward so they converge at the neck without crowding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA round top of this size seats four without anybody sitting on a leg, which is what the single base is for. It belongs in a kitchen, a breakfast corner or a garden room rather than a formal dining room, since the flower top is decidedly the thing you look at. The scalloped rim wants to be seen, so keep the chairs pulled out a little rather than tucked tight. A plain floor is better under it than a pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePetal Count, Base Finish and a Two-Part Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. Petal count is set at order and takes the top from a broad six-petal flower to a fine twelve. The terracotta can be run as a rose, a yellow or a green, or left out for a colourless top with the base doing the work. The base is offered in this black, a bronze, a brushed steel or painted to match the top, and its rib pitch is open. Diameter and height are cut to order. Top and base travel separately, the top flat in a crate, and the two are joined on site through a plate under the centre. The top is a three-person lift and the base a two-person one. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePetals radiating out to a scalloped rim belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a black base ribbed down its whole taper leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a flower-topped table for a breakfast corner 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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrinted Fibreglass and Acrylic with a Ribbed Metal Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016470253915,"sku":"Y206","price":15121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y206.jpg?v=1790889953","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/terracotta-flower-top-black-ribbed-base-dining-table-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
