Glass Hill

Only a year and a half after its conception, Glass Hill's folio reaches far and wide but what really interests me is the connection with materials and construction. In a computer designed, flat pack furniture age, the link between thee initial concept and the finished piece (between the Brain, Hand and Tools if you like) is broken. But, the only literature on the website connected to Glass Hill's Philips de Pury chair reads,
"Chair, 
Edition of 25

Southern Yellow Pine variously planed, dimensioned and machined.

450mm front seat height pitched at 3degrees to rear along 290mm deep seat.  Back rest opens at 102.5 degrees from seat plane rising to 760mm above floor height and dropping 290mm towards seat back. Overall depth of seat area from back rest plane is 360mm. Seat is mounted to double rails set at an angle 6 degrees from seat edge with 8 no. 4x40mm screws. Both rails are EX45x60mm with a machined top angle of 4 degrees in opposing lateral planes. All legs and support for back rest are morticed into this rail. Front leg mounts 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 sides of the chair are parallel."
