The back rises and curves round on both sides into arms that sweep down and forward, so the shell is continuous from one arm to the other. Its whole surface is finely fluted, with close vertical ribs running from the rim down through the body and on into a skirt below the seat, which opens at the front in one wide, low arch. Colour is graduated: nearly clear at the rim, deep emerald at the feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClose Vertical Ribs From Rim to Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fluting does two things at once. Optically it breaks the surface into dozens of narrow vertical strips, each holding its own value, so a chair made of transparent material reads as a striped volume rather than as a window. And structurally it gives the eye something to follow: the ribs converge slightly as they descend the back, spread as they cross the arms and carry straight on down the skirt, so the form is legible from any angle without a single hard edge on it. Against that the seat is the one quiet part, a shallow dished pan set into the shell with a smooth rolled front lip and no ribbing across it. The gradient is arranged so the two arms hold the palest material and the foot of the skirt the darkest, which visually plants the chair on the floor while keeping its top half light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 82cm it is an occasional chair rather than one for dining, and it shows best placed away from a wall, where its face and its flank can both be seen. It suits a garden room, a wide landing, a study or a bedroom corner, and one on its own at the end of a run of upholstered seating is the common use. Light from behind or the side is what the fluting needs: a downlight puts a single bright band across the rim and leaves the rest flat. A pale floor keeps the emerald feet reading as colour rather than as shadow. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Gradient, the Seat and Getting It Through a Door\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. Three things are settled at order. The depth and direction of the colour: emerald at the foot as here, or held at the rim instead, or run through at an even tint, and an amber and a smoke grey are both offered on the same shell. The fluting can be run coarser, which reads bolder and considerably more graphic, or left off the skirt so that a smooth base stands under the ribbed shell. And the seat: bare as here, or with a fitted pad in leather or wool cut to the dish and held by its own weight, which most buyers add where the chair will be sat in for more than a few minutes. Access is worth checking before ordering, because the arms are the widest part of the chair and the shell cannot be dismantled. It travels upright in one crate on a purpose-built pallet, arrives assembled with nothing to fit, and is a two-person carry. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFluted from rim to feet and fading from clear to emerald, this shell chair suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear 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":53958010011995,"sku":"J077","price":5600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J077.jpg?v=1791384926","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-to-clear-fluted-shell-resin-armchair-82cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
