{"product_id":"clear-slotted-splat-acrylic-armchair-80cm","title":"Clear Slotted Splat Acrylic Armchair - 80cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut in clear acrylic, this armchair follows the old horseshoe-back pattern: one curved crest rail runs round from arm to arm across the back, a flat splat rises at its centre with a long narrow slot cut clean through it, rounded at both ends, and the square seat stands on four legs braced by stretchers on every side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Slot Cut Through the Splat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach member is brought to its final profile first and polished on every face afterwards, the inside edges of the stretchers included. The slot is cut clean through the splat and polished inside along its whole depth, working from each face in turn, and that is the slow part: an opening in clear acrylic shows every mark left in it. The crest rail runs from one arm through the back to the other as one length, because a joint in clear acrylic shows as a grey seam even at a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 80cm to the top of the crest rail this is a dining or an occasional armchair, and it pushes in under a table as readily as a timber one. Clear acrylic borrows its presence from whatever stands behind it, so a dark wall gives it more than a pale corner can, and the slot is seen by someone standing but lost to anyone seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Crest, the Slot, and the Order\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Most of it is the horseshoe crest. Three choices are open. The slot can be reshaped or omitted, the crest rail can open wider at the arms, and the acrylic can carry a tint. The seat height and the crest height are whatever you specify. Chairs ordered together have their slots cut alike. The packing protects the crest rail tips and the splat; moving it wants two people. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA horseshoe crest carved from solid acrylic sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; pulled up to dinner it joins the chairs of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and a dark-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\u003e80cm\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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarved Solid 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":53992082145627,"sku":"J622","price":4590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J622.jpg?v=1791395460","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-slotted-splat-acrylic-armchair-80cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
