A shoulder rises at the back and falls away to each side, where the material swells into a heavy roll that stands in for an arm. Between the two the seat is dished, deep enough to hold a sitter well down inside the form. The whole chair reads as a piece of something poured and then opened, rather than as a chair assembled from parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Seat Found Inside a Poured Colourless Mass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasting a form this thick and keeping it clear are opposing requirements, and the compromise is where the skill lies. Thick colourless acrylic collects any internal flaw and magnifies it, so the mass has to be brought up without trapping anything, and the surface then has to be worked to a polish over compound curves that no flat tool will reach. Every one of those curves is read through the body as well as on it: the roll at one arm is visible through the seat from the other side, which means a blemish anywhere shows from most angles. The dished seat is worked last, and its depth is set by hand against the shoulder height rather than to a figure. No two chairs open the same, because a poured mass finds its own outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless mass takes its colour from what it stands on, so this chair is worth placing over something worth reading through it: a boarded floor, a rug with a figure in it, a stone slab. It suits a room with space around it and looks constrained in a tight corner, because the form is meant to be walked round. It reads as sculpture when it is empty, so it can hold a bay or the end of a long room on its own. Put a light behind rather than above it and the whole body carries the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClarity Grade, Seat Depth and a Single-Piece Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. The clarity grade can be raised, which reduces the internal haze at depth and shows more of the far side of the chair through the near side. A tint can be introduced into the pour, and a frosted surface is available where less transparency is wanted. Seat depth is adjustable at the modelling stage, as is the height of the shoulder. The chair is cast in one piece and cannot be broken down for delivery, so the route in should be measured first: it will not tilt through a turn without the arms fouling. Two people are wanted, taking it under the arms rather than at the shoulder. It travels sleeved and crated with the arms packed separately from the shell. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seat found inside a poured clear mass belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; rolls that stand in for arms lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a chair that holds a bay on its own 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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89cm\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":54003984073051,"sku":"Y076","price":4452.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y076.jpg?v=1790884301","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-poured-mass-acrylic-lounge-armchair-89cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
