Belsay Hall: Eclipse

Belsay Hall: Eclipse

Following the influential 'Sitooteries' project at Belsay Hall, English Heritage's programme of contemporary art and design continued to challenge and transform the unfurnished 19th century Greek revival mansion with 'Sitting Pretty', the installation of contemporary chairs by an international collection of designers.

Eclipse was designed to be viewed as an artwork, as well as a practical piece of furniture that promotes discussion.
