There is no separate base: the folds reach the floor and the stool stands on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFolds That Fall the Whole Height of the Drum\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lip round the top is cast with the body rather than applied afterwards, so nothing shows where it rises off the seat. Each fold is drawn down the side to a depth of its own, and the roots where they meet the floor are what matter on a stool: a sitter's weight goes straight into them, since there is no base underneath to spread it. The seat itself is rippled in the casting while the underside is left flat, which is what lets the lip stand proud without the top losing its plane. Polishing gets into every undercut by hand, because a fold that turns back on itself will not take a wheel at all. The bottom edges are ground to one level last of all, so the stool sits square under a sitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm this is seat height for a low chair, and it takes a sitter or a tray equally well. The folds run the full height of the side, so they are seen from standing rather than from sitting down, and light from one side gives each of them an edge. Clear resin takes its colour from whatever it stands on, so the floor under it is part of what is seen: a pale rug lifts the whole body and dark boards close it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Folds, the Raised Lip, and Moving It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBespoke commissions take 5–6 weeks; standard pieces take 3–4. Most of it is the fold undercut. There are three open questions. The folds can be run to any depth, the resin can be tinted through its body, and the raised lip can be left off for a flush top. You give the seat diameter and the lip height. Batched together, the pieces are made so the fall of the folds corresponds. The raised lip and the fold undercuts are packed first, and the crate is shaped so the stool bears on its bottom edge rather than on a fold. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolds dripping down a clear drum give our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e a low stool; the falling folds suit our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, the glassy body 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53998135869787,"sku":"J764","price":5265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J764.jpg?v=1791400982","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-dripping-fold-cast-resin-drum-stool-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
