Two vertical slabs stand as the sides, a third spans the back, and between them a horizontal slab forms the seat with an open space beneath. Every element is thick clear resin. Held inside the two side slabs, running most of their height and visible from within and without, is dark organic matter - brown and reddish, fibrous, gathered in a broken column through each one. The back slab and the seat are left clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Seat Cut From a Clear Block\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chair is a cube with a seat taken out of it, and the composition is entirely orthogonal - two side slabs, a back slab, a horizontal seat, an open space beneath. Every element is thick, clear and flat, so the piece reads as an assembly of planes even though the material is continuous. The interest is held in two of those planes only. Each side slab carries a broken column of dark organic matter, brown and reddish and fibrous, running most of its height and read from both faces at once. The back slab and the seat are deliberately left empty: with matter in all four the piece would be busy, and with it in two the eye understands that the clear material is doing the holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a wide low armchair and it reads as a solid cube from any distance. Light behind it is what shows the encased matter in the two side slabs, so a window or a lamp behind the chair is worth far more than anything in front. The open space beneath the seat keeps it from looking like a block of masonry. Four people are needed to bring it in. Inside only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Held Inside, and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The encased matter is what fills the time. Three aspects can be specified. The block is offered tinted, the encased matter can run through all four planes rather than two, and the seat can be cut deeper into the mass. What goes inside is ours to select, since no two pieces of matter are alike. Overall width and seat height are quoted to your own figures. Put the whole order in at once and the arrangement of matter in the two slabs carries across every piece. The packing protects the four corners of the two side slabs; moving it wants four people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seat cut from a clear block makes this cube armchair seating for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the orthogonal planes suit our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a room lit from behind among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85cm\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 Resin with Encased Organic Matter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53972615233883,"sku":"J437","price":14648.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J437.jpg?v=1791393871","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-encased-matter-cast-resin-cube-armchair-85cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
