Both horns, the ears and the folds of the muzzle are modelled into the frame, and because the resin is transparent the head is read through its own depth rather than off its surface. The seat and back are separately upholstered and buttoned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Rhinoceros Head Rising From a Baroque Arm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head is not an ornament fixed to a chair: it grows out of the arm, and the scroll of the arm resolves into the animal's jaw so there is no line where furniture stops and creature starts. Every fold of the muzzle is worked by hand, so no two heads carry the same expression. The amber is in the resin rather than on it, and the frame is transparent enough that the upholstery behind it tints the colour where the two overlap. The upholstery is buttoned through to a backing board and comes away as a unit, so it can be re-covered later without the frame being touched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a single statement chair rather than one of a pair. It suits a hotel or club lounge, a large hallway, a dressing room, a showroom or a study, and it is best approached from the left, where the head reads. The amber resin throws warm colour onto whatever is beside it, so it sits best against plain plaster or a dark panelled wall rather than a patterned one. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUpholstery, Resin Tint \u0026amp; Commissioning a Different Animal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. Three things on this chair are specified rather than fixed. The upholstery is made from your own fabric or from the studio range, in the buttoned pattern or plain, and a matching footstool is made on the same detail. The resin tint is chosen from the studio range, and a colourless version is made where the frame is to read as glass and the fabric is to carry the colour. The head itself is commissioned as a different animal on the identical frame, which is the alteration customers ask for most, and it is quoted per subject because the modelling is done from scratch each time. On handling: the horns are the most exposed part of the piece and the first thing to catch a doorframe, so the chair is crated with them shielded in a moulded pocket and is carried by the seat rail, never by the head or an arm. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rhinoceros head grown from a baroque arm makes this chair a centrepiece of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; it is a statement for a lounge among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the amber-orange casting sits with 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\u003e110cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e145cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5cm at the head\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranslucent Resin with Upholstered Seat and Back\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53958556156251,"sku":"J380","price":16201.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/J380.jpg?v=1791391764","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/orange-rhino-head-resin-armchair-145cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
