The crest rail is the one coloured element, a solid black that runs the length of the curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Horseshoe Stripped to Its Essential Members\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crest is the piece that decides the chair. It has to hold a continuous curve through more than half a circle while changing shape as it goes - deeper in the face where it crosses the back, rounder where it becomes an arm - and it is formed over a jig so the sweep reads as one line from shoulder to shoulder. The black is as strong on the cut ends of the rail as along its length, so a knock on an edge shows black rather than clear. Everything else is kept deliberately thin: the back below the crest, the seat a shallow dish, the legs turned as fine as the form allows. Where the arms land on the seat frame the joint is solvent-welded and polished until it disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause so little of it is solid, this chair will go into a room that is already full without making it fuller - at a writing desk, in the corner of a bedroom, or as the odd chair at a dining table of a different style. Its compact plan suits a landing. The coloured crest is what you will see from across a room, so think about that line against the wall behind it rather than about the chair as a mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Crest Colour, the Splat, and Buying in Pairs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The crest rail is finished in the colour you specify, and the back below it can be made as one clear panel or as slim uprights. The chair is priced as a single, and a facing pair is two on the order. It is dispatched assembled because the welded shoulder joints are structural, in a carton cut to the outline with the crest boxed inside its own sleeve, since a coloured edge shows a scuff far more readily than a clear one. One person can carry it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA horseshoe crest picked out in black stands with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a back pared down below one sweep opens onto our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and an odd chair for a writing corner joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\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\u003e85cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Acrylic with Coloured Crest Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001612456283,"sku":"Y008","price":1687.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y008.jpg?v=1790882292","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-horseshoe-crest-acrylic-armchair-with-black-rail-85cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
