{"product_id":"amber-petal-shell-cast-resin-bar-stool-118cm","title":"Amber Petal Shell Cast Resin Bar Stool - 118cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bar stool with an amber petal shell, raised on a matt black steel column that stands on a wide round foot and carries a ring footrest partway up. The shell is an open form with five lobes, two of them drawn out at the sides. Dark brown swirls run through its amber, gathering at the rim and thinning to a smoke across the middle, and a black height lever sits under the shell at the left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Shell at Bar Height, With a Ring to Stand On\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stands at bar height, and the height changes the object rather than merely raising it. The shell sits above eye level for anyone seated nearby, so the underside of the petals becomes a face that is actually seen, and the amber is thinnest there and reads at its brightest. The footring is the other consequence: a stool this tall needs one, and here it is a plain steel ring on four spokes, which puts a second horizontal line into a piece that would otherwise be a shell on a stick. The swirls in the amber behave as they do on the seated shells, densest along the rolled rim and dissolving toward the centre of the back, but seen from below they read as a dark tracery against the light instead of as ink in a pool. The lever under the shell adjusts the height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 118cm overall this belongs at a kitchen island, a bar counter or a high reception desk, and a run of two or three reads well because the shells are wide enough to make a rhythm. It turns freely on the column. Give it a plain counter front rather than a busy one, since the shell will take whatever is behind it and hold it in the amber. Light from above catches the rim; light from a window behind it lights the whole shell through. The disc foot needs a hard floor to sit level. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Colour Route, the Footring, and the Height of the Column\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The seat decides the timescale; the column is standard. Three things are open. The colour route through the shell: brown through amber as here, a grey through clear, or a single colour throughout. The footring, which can stay as here, be dropped for a cleaner column, or be made in brass to break the black. And the column height, since the same shell serves at counter height as well as bar height and the difference is a few centimetres of steel. Gas lift can be specified or left off. Seat size and column height are settled at order. Seat and column arrive apart and bolt together with the key supplied. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a counter or kitchen island, this stool joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; its petal shell has kin among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its black steel column among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e118cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with Powder-Coated Steel 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":53966602633563,"sku":"J167","price":3575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J167.jpg?v=1791385877","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-petal-shell-cast-resin-bar-stool-118cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
