{"product_id":"dark-amber-bark-channel-cast-resin-stool-55cm","title":"Dark Amber Bark Channel Cast Resin Stool - 55cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cast resin stool is channelled all round like bark, cast as a section of trunk. Its outline is irregular rather than round, and its whole side is cut into deep vertical channels that widen and narrow as they rise, meeting and parting like bark. The top is sawn flat across, so the channels stop abruptly at a clean edge. The resin is a dark amber, close to black where two channels run together and much warmer where the material is thin at a ridge, and looking into it the channels appear to continue some way inside the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Trunk Section Cut Into Channels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe channels are the piece. They run the full height of the body, widening and narrowing as they rise, meeting each other and parting again in the way bark does, and they are deep enough that the outline of the stool is irregular rather than round. The top is sawn flat straight across them, so every channel ends at one clean level edge and the contrast between the worked side and the plain top is abrupt. The dark amber sits in the material, close to black where two channels run together and much warmer at a thin ridge, and because the resin is translucent the channels appear to carry on some way inside the body rather than stopping at the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 55cm it stands at seat height and can serve as a seat, a small table or a plant stand, and it is small enough to shift wherever it is wanted. The channels are deep and they collect dust, so an open position is better than a tight corner. The dark amber reads best with light behind or beside it, where the translucency shows; against a dark wall it becomes a silhouette. The sawn top is flat and level and will take a drink. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Channels, the Top, and the Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. The bark channels are why. Three of its features are open. The tint is open, the channel depth can be set stronger or softer, and the top can be supplied domed instead of sawn flat. A version at greater height is made to the same section if a side table rather than a stool is wanted. The top diameter and the overall height are open figures. A group ordered at one time will carry the depth of the bark channels evenly. Its crate is shaped round the sharp edges between the channels, and one person can lift it from there. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA trunk section cut into bark channels makes a stool for our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; its dark amber reading of wood belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its place beside a chair to 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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTinted Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53971459834203,"sku":"J358","price":3917.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J358.jpg?v=1791391710","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/dark-amber-bark-channel-cast-resin-stool-55cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
