{"product_id":"blue-graded-shell-acrylic-counter-stool-85cm","title":"Blue Graded Shell Acrylic Counter Stool - 85cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seat of this counter stool is one curved acrylic shell that rises at the back into a low support, and its colour runs the short way rather than the long way: deep blue along the top edge, paling as it comes down, and almost colourless where the shell meets the frame. Below it a black steel frame runs down as flat blades front and back and turns along the floor, with a footrail across the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlue at the Top Edge, Draining Down the Shell\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRunning a grade across the short dimension of a shell puts the whole colour change inside a very short distance, so the transition has to be smooth over a very short run or it reads as two colours meeting. The shell is also curved through that same distance, which means the eye sees the grade compressed at the top of the curve and stretched at the bottom, and the colour is set out to allow for that rather than measured flat. The frame is coated matt black so it takes no highlight and leaves the shell to do the work, and its blades are wide in the plane you see and narrow in the plane you do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 85cm it suits a kitchen island or a breakfast bar rather than a full bar, so check the counter before ordering. The low back makes it a stool people stay on. The blue is strongest along the top edge, which is the part seen from across a room, so the stool reads as a line of colour at counter level. Leave a hand's width between them: the frame reaches along the floor at front and back, so stools set only as far apart as their seats will meet down there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSeat Height, Frame Finish and Ordering a Run\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. Overall height is set to your counter, which is the one measurement worth confirming first. The grade can be reversed to put the blue at the bottom, and other colours are drawn from the same stock. The frame is offered in a polished finish, in white, or in a warmer metal. The footrail can be left off where the counter has a rail of its own. Every stool arrives built up, and one person can carry it. Where several are ordered the shells are cut in sequence from one sheet so the grade matches across the run, and they are numbered to keep the set together. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue along the top edge of a curved shell belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a black sled frame with a front footrail leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a perch at a breakfast bar 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Graded Cast Acrylic with Coated Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54015815844187,"sku":"Y119","price":2428.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y119.jpg?v=1790885012","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-graded-shell-acrylic-counter-stool-85cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
