{"product_id":"clear-ribbed-twin-dome-acrylic-stool-45cm","title":"Clear Ribbed Twin Dome Acrylic Stool - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cast acrylic stool is two opposed domes in clear acrylic meeting at a narrow waist: the upper one is dished into a shallow bowl and the one beneath it is closed, and both are worked in fine horizontal ripple lines the whole way round. The waist is the narrowest part of the piece and the two domes are the same diameter, so the outline reads as one form pinched in the middle rather than as two parts joined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Domes Meeting at a Narrow Waist\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ribbing is turned into the mould face, so it runs true round the whole circumference of both domes and the pitch does not wander where the form turns. Acrylic is used here rather than resin for its clarity at this section, and the waist is the thinnest part of the piece, so it is the part that decides whether the casting is sound. Both domes are polished to the same standard, and the one beneath it is finished right under the foot because the piece is often seen on a pale floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm this is a stool at seat height and it will take an adult, and the dished top means a tray or a bowl sits in it without sliding. The ribbing catches raking light, so a position lit from one side gives it more than one lit from directly above. One person can shift it without help, which means it can follow the seating round a room rather than hold one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Ribbing, the Waist, and Ordering a Pair\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. The ribbed surface is what fills the time. Before it is made, three decisions sit with you. The ribbing can be turned at a coarser or a finer pitch, the acrylic is offered tinted, and the upper dome can be left closed instead of dished. Say what top diameter and overall height you want. Put the whole order in at once and the pitch of the ribbing round the domes carries across every piece. It travels with the rim of the upper dome packed clear, and one person can place it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo ribbed domes meeting at a waist sit with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; at seat height it serves among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and the turned ribbing suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\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\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53990932742491,"sku":"J523","price":5130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J523.jpg?v=1791394666","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-ribbed-twin-dome-acrylic-stool-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
