{"product_id":"clear-modelled-shell-cast-resin-chair-82cm","title":"Clear Modelled Shell Cast Resin Chair - 82cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a chair in optically clear resin, heavily modelled rather than drawn: the back is a rounded shield carrying two large paired swellings above and two below, the seat dishes deeply in the middle, and the front drops away into a splayed foot. Every surface is polished and the whole chair is one colour, so the form is read entirely through light rather than through any change of tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Chair Modelled Rather Than Drawn\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eColourless is the hardest thing to cast at this size, because with no tint to hide behind, every bubble and every lift line reads from any angle. The paired swellings are modelled by hand, so they belong to this design and not to a pattern, and the seat dishes deeply under them with no line where the two meet. Polishing is the long part of the build: every curve is worked from a coarse grade right through to a mirror, inside the dish as well as across the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 82cm to the top of the back this is a dining chair with real presence, and a set of them reads as a row of modelled forms from across a room. Being colourless it takes its colour from what is behind it, so a dark floor or a strong wall gives it far more than a pale room does, and a rug of any colour under it will read straight up through the seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTint, Seat Depth, and What Colourless Costs in Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. Most of it is the modelled shell. Three choices are open. A tint can be put through it instead of leaving it colourless, the paired forms in the back can be worked shallower or fuller, and the seat dish can be made deeper. Seat height and back height are each specified. Ask for several together if the swell of the paired forms in the back needs to agree between them. The packing protects the swollen forms and the splayed foot; moving it wants two people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaired swellings modelled into a clear shield back make a chair for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; the modelled form suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a strong-walled room 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\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear 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":53990932480347,"sku":"J520","price":4387.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J520.jpg?v=1791394651","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-modelled-shell-cast-resin-chair-82cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
