A second bent tube makes the front legs and the front rail, and between the two sits a round pad in cream boucle. It stands at dining height with an unusually open frame beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Hoop That Is Back and Rear Legs at Once\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBending round tube and keeping the section round is the whole problem. A tube pulled through a bend flattens on the outside of the curve and wrinkles on the inside unless it is supported through the whole operation, and in a colourless material both faults are obvious from across a room: a flat spot reads as a bright line that follows you round it. The hoop here holds an even section through a return of nearly 180 degrees at the top. The junctions where the two frames cross are collared rather than butted, so the load is taken across a length of tube instead of at a point, and the collars are polished to the clarity of the tube so they read as part of it. Every hoop closes at a slightly different rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn open tube frame barely occupies the space it stands in, which makes this useful where a solid chair would crowd: a small dining table, a dressing table, a bedroom corner. A plain floor serves it best, since the frame is read through and a patterned floor arrives inside the tube. The boucle pad is the only opaque element and is what stops the chair disappearing altogether, so choose it with the wall in mind rather than the floor. Four of these round a table read as a set of outlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePad Fabric, Tube Gauge and Ordering More Than One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. Pad fabric is chosen from a range, and a leather pad is available where boucle is too soft a note. The tube gauge can be increased for a heavier read, and a tint can be introduced. Seat height is adjustable within the frame, which matters if the chair is going to a table above standard height. Each chair arrives assembled with the pad fitted, and it is a one-person lift at this weight. Where several are ordered they travel in a single crate, sleeved individually, because a colourless tube shows a scuff from any angle and stacked chairs mark one another. The pad is bagged separately and fitted on arrival. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hoop that is back and rear legs at once belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a cream boucle pad slung between rails leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and a seat at a dressing table 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\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Acrylic Tube with Boucle Upholstery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54003984171355,"sku":"Y084","price":2023.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y084.jpg?v=1790884328","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-tube-hoop-acrylic-chair-with-cream-pad-82cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
