{"product_id":"white-leaning-base-frosted-glass-side-table-55cm","title":"White Leaning Base Frosted Glass Side Table - 55cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe round frosted glass disc of this side table sits level on a white base that does nothing level at all. The base starts narrow where it meets the glass and twists as it widens, finishing on the floor as a broad wedge set at an angle to the disc above it, so the table leans without falling and the line of the base changes completely as you walk round it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Base That Twists as It Widens\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA twisting form has no repeated section anywhere, which means there is no template to check it against: every part of the surface is judged by eye and by hand against the two ends it has to arrive at. The head must finish level and true to take a glass disc, and the foot must finish flat and stable on a plan that is nothing like the head's, and the twist between them has to be continuous with no flat spot where the eye catches. The lacquer is then the second problem: a white gloss over a doubly curved surface shows every ripple, so it is built up and flatted back several times. No two bases twist identically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA leaning base is worth putting where it will be seen in the round, so beside a chair with space behind it rather than tight against a sofa arm. At 55cm the disc sits above the arm of most seats, which makes it useful for a lamp as well as a glass. The white reads strongly against a dark floor and quietly against a pale one. The wedge foot takes up more floor than the disc suggests, so allow for the direction it points when you set it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDisc Size, Lacquer Colour and Levelling It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. Disc size is made to order and can be taken well past the base's footprint or brought in tight to it. The glass is offered clear or tinted, and the frost can be moved to the upper face. Lacquer comes in other colours and in matt. The direction of the twist can be reversed, which matters if the table is going into a corner. Base and glass travel separately and the disc is set on last. The base is a one-person lift at this size. Levelling is worth doing carefully: the foot is a single bearing surface, so a floor out of true shows in the disc above.
