*** This the text that is accompanying Glass Hill piece:
We asked Markus Bergström and Joe Nunn to create
a chair that would complement their design for the
exhibition space at Phillips de Pury. The duo from
Glass Hill responded with this perfectly propor-
tioned seat that speaks to the virtues of simplicity,
form, and craftsmanship, and our need for them.
Asked about their process, they said well-consid-
ered dimensionality speaks with the greatest elo-
quence. We agree.
‘Southern yellow pine variously planed, dimensioned
and machined. 450 mm front seat height pitched at 3
degrees to rear along 290 mm deep seat. Back rest
opens at 102.5 degrees from seat plane rising to
760mm above floor height and dropping 290 mm
towards to seat back. Overall depth of seat area from
back rest plane is 360 mm. Seat is mounted to double
rails set at an angle 6 degrees from seat edge with 8 no.
4×40 mm screws. Both rails are ex45× 60mm with a
machined top angle of 4 degrees in opposing lateral
planes. All legs and support for back rest are mortised
into this rail. Front legs mount perpendicular to rail
and seat, back leg at 24 degrees from seat angle and
back rest mount at 12.5 degrees on opposing (top)
surface. The rail’s pitch pushes the front legs out to
the limits of the chairs overall width of 340 mm dic-
tated by the square cut seat and back. The sides of the
chair are parallel.’ – Glass Hill
