The whole shell is one sheet of clear acrylic bent through two right angles, so a single piece of material forms the left arm, the back and the right arm without a joint anywhere in it. An arch is cut through the back panel at shoulder height, and the seat is a flat cream upholstered pad set into the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Bent Sheet From Arm to Arm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBending a sheet this wide without marking it is the whole job. The acrylic is brought up to temperature along a narrow line, folded, and held until it has cooled through; take it too fast and the outside of the curve goes cloudy, take it too slow and the sheet sags between the clamps. Each fold is therefore worked one at a time, and the second is set only after the first has stabilised. The arch in the back is cut before the folds go in, while the sheet is still flat and can be held properly, then its edges are flame-polished so the opening reads as clear as the faces. Small differences in the radius of the two folds are normal and are what tells one chair from another. The pad is built on a marine ply base and drops into the shell on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear chair takes up almost no visual room, which is the reason to use these round a dining table in a small room - six of them read as a table with space around it rather than a table hemmed in. The arch gives the back a horizon so the chair does not disappear entirely. It tucks well under a table, though the wrapped arms mean it will not slide fully in, so allow for that when measuring a run along one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Arch, the Seat Pad, and Ordering More Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrdinarily a standard piece needs 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The seat pad is made up in the colour you specify, and can be supplied in a heavier weave if the chairs are for daily use. The arch can be cut deeper, narrower, or left out entirely for a plain back. Chairs are priced individually, so a set of six is six of these on the order. Each one travels in its own carton with the pad packed separately and dropped in on arrival, and a single carton is light enough for one person to carry upstairs. Clear acrylic scratches more readily than glass, so the protective film is left on the shell until the chairs are in place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shell bent from arm to arm belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; an arch cut through clear acrylic points to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a chair for a small dining room sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBent Clear Acrylic with Upholstered Seat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001611702619,"sku":"Y006","price":2294.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y006.jpg?v=1790882276","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-arched-cut-acrylic-armchair-with-cream-seat-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
