The frame follows a classical pattern: four legs turned to a taper with collars cut into them, two arm supports carrying a ball at mid height, and a tall flat back panel rising well above the arms. A deep buttoned cushion sits on the seat rails and is the only part of the chair that is not transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Classical Frame Turned From Clear Acrylic\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurning acrylic is nothing like turning wood. The material softens as it heats, so the cut has to be taken fine and the speed kept down, and every collar and taper on these legs is a separate pass. Eight turned members go into one chair - four legs and the arm supports with their balls - and each is polished after turning, because a lathe finish on clear acrylic leaves a grey haze that no amount of assembly will hide. The back panel is cut flat and its edges brought up to the same clarity, so the frame does not show a dull member next to a bright one. Where the parts meet, the joint takes the light the same way as the members either side of it, so the frame reads continuous rather than assembled. Small tool marks inside the collars are usual on hand-turned work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe height is what places this chair. At 102cm the back stands above a dining table by a clear margin, so a pair at the ends of a table will frame it, and one on its own works as an occasional chair in a bedroom or a dressing room. The classical outline sits comfortably in a period room where a moulded chair would fight the mouldings, and because the frame is clear it does that without adding another piece of furniture to the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Turning, the Cushion, and Ordering a Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The cushion is made up in the fabric and colour you specify - the buttoning can be dropped for a plain top, and the cushion can be made shallower if you want the seat closer to the floor. The chair is priced singly, so a set is a quantity on the order rather than a different product. Each chair leaves here assembled, since the solvent-welded joints are not made to be broken down, and it travels in a fitted carton with the cushion boxed beside it. That makes the carton bulky rather than heavy, and one person can manage it. Keep the film on the turned members until the chair is standing where it will live. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classical frame turned from clear acrylic belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; collared legs under a buttoned seat carry on into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and a tall-backed chair for a period room joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic 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\u003e101.5cm\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\u003e46cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurned Clear Acrylic with Upholstered Cushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54001612357979,"sku":"Y007","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Y007.jpg?v=1790882282","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-turned-leg-acrylic-armchair-with-buttoned-seat-102cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
