{"product_id":"clear-petal-shell-chair-on-a-chromed-column-87cm","title":"Clear Petal Shell Chair on a Chromed Column - 87cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shell of this chair is clear polycarbonate shaped as an open flower: five broad petals rising out of a shallow seat, their edges waved so the rim turns in and out as it goes round. It sits on a chromed column with a lever under the seat, and the column stands on a chromed trumpet foot rather than a spread of castors. The shell is the only part that is not metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Shell Shaped as an Open Flower, Waved All Round\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolycarbonate is not acrylic and does not behave like it. It takes a curve without crazing but it will not polish to the same edge, so a petal rim is finished by hand where an acrylic one could be flame-worked. The five petals are formed from one blank, which is why the seat has no seam at its centre, and the wave is set while the sheet is still warm instead of cut into a cold edge - a cut wave shows as a bright line and a formed one does not. Column and foot are chrome over steel and are made as a pair, since two chrome baths will not give quite the same tone and the join between them is at eye level once you sit down. The shell meets the column through a plate that carries under the seat rather than at one bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chair with a foot instead of castors stays where it is put, so this suits a desk you sit at rather than one you roll along: a home office, a dressing table, a corner where a chair has to look like something when nobody is in it. The shell registers as an edge and a curve rather than a solid, which keeps a small room open. At 87cm the back petal stands above most desk tops, so leave headroom if it is going under a shelf. Set it where side light can find the waved rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShell Tint, Column Finish and What Travels Assembled\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. Shell tint is set at order: the polycarbonate is offered clear, in a smoke, in an amber or in a soft rose, and the petal count can go from five to four or six. Rim wave depth is open and a plain rolled rim is available. The column comes in this chrome, a black powder coat or a brushed finish, and the trumpet foot can be exchanged for a four-arm base. Where the column is to be fixed rather than adjusted, seat height is cut to order. Shell and column travel in one carton and go together on site with four bolts, which one person can manage. Nothing is glued. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shell shaped as an open flower belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a chrome column rising from a trumpet foot leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a desk chair that stays where it is put 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\u003e87cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Polycarbonate with Chromed Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54016469434715,"sku":"Y191","price":2429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y191.jpg?v=1790889873","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-petal-shell-chair-on-a-chromed-column-87cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
