The back is a barrel, curving forward at both sides to meet a seat with a rolled front edge. Fine lines are incised into the surface rather than raised from it: one runs straight down the middle, starting at the top edge of the back and ending at the bottom of the seat; one crosses the back just above the seat with a row of short slanting strokes standing over it; and four more drop from that cross line over the rolled front. Three plain cylindrical legs carry it. The frost is even and the incisions read as fine light lines within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIncised Lines Across a Curved Back\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe incised drawing is what gives this chair its character, and the interesting part is what the curve does to it. The cross line bows as it follows the barrel of the back, and the short strokes above it lean in and out like grass along a bank, so the pattern reads differently from every side. Each line is a shallow groove, so it catches a fine edge on one side and stays frosted on the other, and the whole pattern reads more strongly in raking light than in flat. The vertical lines carry on over the roll of the seat front, so back and seat read as one drawn surface, and short strokes fringe the lower edge of the seat. The three legs are of one diameter and one length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 70cm this is a dining or desk chair, and the incised back makes it worth placing where the back is seen, which usually means the far side of a table rather than against a wall. A single one works at a dressing table or a hall desk. The frost takes on whatever is behind it, so a plain wall keeps the lines legible and a busy one competes with them. Set light to one side and the lines darken and read clearly; light from the front flattens them almost away. It wants a hard floor for the three feet. Indoors only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Close the Lines Run, and Whether They Wrap\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. The incising adds the time rather than the casting. The drawing itself is the main variable, from this sparse arrangement of lines and strokes up to a close lattice that reads as a texture rather than a pattern. Whether the cross line stops short of the sides as here or runs right round the barrel, which turns the pattern into a wrap. And the depth of the groove, which decides whether the lines read as dark lines or as shadows. A plain back with no incising is also available. The incised lines, the seat height and the overall height are all open. It arrives crated and finished; a single person can lift it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawn on with incised lines, this chair joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; as seating it is part of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, and in frosted resin it sits beside our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted 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":53965302923611,"sku":"J049","price":4452.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J049.jpg?v=1791377764","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/frosted-incised-line-cast-resin-chair-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
