{"product_id":"honey-figured-cast-stump-stool-40cm","title":"Honey Figured Cast Stump Stool - 40cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeep flutes run down the lobed outline of this stump stool, and the timber inside shows through clear resin in two tones, honey and dark chocolate. The honey grain climbs the flutes in long wavy streaks, gathering here and there into oval rings of figure on one flank, while broad passages of dark chocolate run between them. The top is a broad sawn face of close rings, edged in pale sapwood, with a small star-shaped check at the pith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHoney Grain Climbing the Flutes Between Dark Passages\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the grain, not the geometry, is the subject. The honey streaks follow the flutes upward, wavering as they go, so one flute can carry a pale gold at its crest and a near-chocolate a hand's width further round. Because the material is translucent through the lighter passages, those parts glow and the darker ones sit back, which gives the stool a depth that a single-colour body does not have. On one flank the figure gathers into oval rings, like the eyes in a cut branch, and these are the busiest part of the surface. The top reads clearly: the rings are close and even, the pale sapwood makes a light edge, and the check at the centre is small and tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm it sits just below seat height and works more as a side table than a seat, next to an armchair or a bed. The sawn top takes a cup, a book or a small lamp. Set it where the figure can be seen from above and from the side, and give it light from one side rather than overhead so the pale passages light through. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Figure and the Finish of the Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. The timber sets the pace: figure like this cannot be specified precisely, only asked for, and the studio puts the selected stock in front of the customer before work starts so the range of tone is agreed rather than assumed. What can be specified is the finish of the top, left level as here or given a shallow dish that gathers a pool of shadow. The height can be raised to order while the diameter stays as it is. Several can be worked from one stock so that their tones relate, which matters if more than one is wanted for a room. It travels upright in one crate with the top capped, and one person can move it though two should lift it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoney and chocolate timber under clear resin, this stool sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; its glossy casting is shared with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and its wavering grain with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Clarity Cast Resin with Solid Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53964860817755,"sku":"J023","price":4115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J023.jpg?v=1791377669","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/honey-figured-cast-stump-stool-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
