Terence Conran´s ‘Inspiration’:


  • "Using green oak sourced on dartmoor, this enormous chair was made by the local woodworker and sculptor Henry Bruce. His idea was that the chair would draw attention to the view in the way that an ordinary bench does, while at the same time creating a frame for it. This, he hoped, would give people pause to stop and appreciate the beautiful natural surroundings. Mindful of the impact the piece would have on the environment, he built it using traditional mortise-and-tenon technology and hewed it by hand."
