{"product_id":"clear-branch-set-cast-stump-stool-41cm","title":"Clear Branch Set Cast Stump Stool - 41cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless stump stool with a lobed and deeply fluted profile. Thin dark stems stand inside the clear body, upright or leaning, running from a little above mid height down to the foot, and curled golden leaves cling to them in a loose cluster around the middle. Above the cluster the material is empty and clear up to the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDark Stems and Golden Leaves Standing in Clear Resin\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything here depends on how sparse the inclusion is. A few stems and a scatter of leaves stand in a great deal of clear material, so the stool reads as water with something caught in it rather than as a thicket. The stems are thin and dark, some still carrying a fork, and they run down to the foot in fine lines; the leaves are curled blades the colour of old gold, gathered where the stems branch. Around them the flutes pull a bright line down each crest, and the inclusion shows behind the crests as well as between them, broken up and shifting as you walk round. The top quarter is empty, which lets the clear stump read as glass before the eye finds the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 41cm this is low for a seat and right for a side table, which is how it is best used: beside a low chair, at the end of a sofa, or as a plant stand where the twigs and the plant answer each other. It needs light through it rather than on it, so a window behind it or a lamp low to one side does far more than a downlight. Against a busy floor the stems and leaves are lost; a plain pale floor holds them. It is heavy for its size and needs nothing beneath it. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Inclusion Sits, and What Else Can Be Held in It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. A clear body shows everything, so the finishing is unforgiving. Where the inclusion sits is specified at order: through the lower body as here, gathered into a single band, or held near the top over a clear foot. What is held in it is a choice too: leafy stems as here, dried grasses or seed heads, chosen from the studio's own dried stock, and a sample is approved before work begins. Density runs from this sparse scatter to a packed mass. Diameter and height move together, and a wider, higher stool can be made to order. It travels upright in one crate, and it is a two-person lift for the weight rather than the size. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeafy stems caught in a clear stump give this stool its place among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; it seats or serves as part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and its glassy fluting ties it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e41cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Clarity Cast Resin with Branches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53964872941915,"sku":"J033","price":5602.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J033.jpg?v=1791377709","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-branch-set-cast-stump-stool-41cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
