{"product_id":"clear-folded-sheet-acrylic-chair-80cm","title":"Clear Folded Sheet Acrylic Chair - 80cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne thick colourless sheet, folded three times, is the entire chair. The back rises and turns forward at the seat; the seat runs back and turns down at each side to reach the floor. There is no frame, no joint and no fixing anywhere on it. The fold lines are left crisp rather than rounded away, so the chair reads as a piece of paper worked at large scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Folds Standing In for Eight Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrisp folds and an unbroken surface are the two hardest things to have together. A tight fold in thick acrylic wants to whiten along the line, and any whitening on a colourless chair is visible from both sides at once, so the material has to come to the fold evenly across its full width and be held there while it takes the shape. Three folds means three chances to lose it, and the third is the worst because the sheet has already been worked twice. The two side folds must also finish at exactly the same height or the chair rocks, and there is no leg to pack out afterwards. The faces are polished after forming. Every sheet takes its folds slightly differently, so no two chairs sit identically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chair with no visible structure is worth putting where structure is the thing you want to avoid: at a glass table, in front of a window, in a room already full of legs. It reads as an outline from the front and as a solid plane from the side, so the approach matters. A dark floor makes the folds legible by giving them something to reflect, and a pale one lets the whole chair recede. Do not stand it on an uneven floor, since a folded sheet has no adjustment in it anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFold Radius, Sheet Gauge and One-Piece Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The fold radius can be opened for a softer profile, and a frosted surface is available where less transparency is wanted. The sheet gauge can be increased for a heavier read or a wider seat. A tint can be introduced. Seat height is set within the fold geometry, so it is worth settling at order rather than later. The chair is formed from one sheet and cannot be broken down, so the route in wants measuring: it will pass a normal door upright but not lying down. One person can carry it, though two are easier because the folds are the only handholds and a colourless edge is unforgiving. It travels sleeved with the fold lines boxed. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree folds standing in for a frame belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; one sheet worked like paper at full scale leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a chair to set at a glass table 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\u003e80cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003984302427,"sku":"Y090","price":4452.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y090.jpg?v=1790884925","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-folded-sheet-acrylic-chair-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
