Unlike a stripped version of this form, it keeps every member of the traditional pattern: a crest rail sweeping from the back into scrolled arm ends, a shaped splat down the centre of the back, a moulded apron under the seat, stretchers along both sides and a plain footrail across the front. Every member carries the same amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Full Traditional Pattern, Cast in Amber\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery member here would be a separate piece of timber in the original and every one is a separate piece of acrylic. The crest rail is formed over a jig; the scrolled arm ends are worked up individually because a scroll cannot be pulled from a straight mould; the splat is cut flat and then shaped on both faces; the apron carries a moulding along its bottom edge that is cut, not cast. In a translucent amber a joint shows unless it is brought up to the same clarity as the members it meets, and that is where the hours go. The colour is in the material, deepening where two members overlap at a joint - which is why the frame looks darkest exactly where it is strongest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is broad and wants floor around it: at the head of a dining table, or alone against a wall in a hall, where it holds its own as a single piece. The amber is warm and will sit with wood, brass and stone rather than against them. Backlight it if you can - light coming through the frame from behind turns the whole chair the colour of the material, and light falling on it from the front does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Amber Depth, the Members, and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The amber can be run paler or pushed toward brown, and the frame can be made up in a clear acrylic if you want the pattern without the colour. The apron moulding can be left off for a plainer line. The chair is priced singly. It arrives assembled, since the welded joints are what hold the pattern together, and it makes a wide crate that cannot be angled through a narrow doorway, so measure each door on the way in. Two people are wanted to bring it in. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe full horseshoe pattern rendered in amber goes with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a scrolled crest over a carved apron carries on into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and a warm chair for the head of a table joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Translucent Amber Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001613701467,"sku":"Y010","price":5130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y010.jpg?v=1790882308","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-traditional-horseshoe-acrylic-armchair-94cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
