Santeri Mortti

SIDE CHAIR

Made to order in a limited edition of 10 with an 6-week lead time

An exercise in sculpted form and spatial rhythm, this three-legged side chair by Santeri Mortti brings an uncompromising, graphic presence to seating. Carved entirely from solid oak, the piece pairs a contoured seat and tapered legs with an openwork backrest depicting two intertwined bird figures anchored within an oval frame.

By prioritizing relief work and structural economy over ornamentation, the design balances functional utility with an architectural silhouette. When placed in space, the negative cuts of the backrest frame shadows and surrounding light, operating seamlessly as a functional seat and a standalone sculptural object.

Commissioned in a limited edition of 10 for Correspondances, the inaugural exhibition at Pièce de Résistance.

Artist

Operating in Helsinki, Santeri Mortti explores the quiet dialogue between human intention and living timber. Working across scales—from intimate tactile pieces to architectural forms—Mortti’s methodology is deliberately slow, grounded in the reductive discipline of traditional hand tools. Bypassing industrial processes, he allows the grain, internal tension, and natural character of the wood to dictate each final geometry.

Material Variations & Handcrafted Character

Each work presented by Pièce de Résistance is individually hand-crafted or produced in limited studio editions using raw, natural, or hand-worked materials—including wood, metal, resin, and ceramic. Due to the artisanal methodology and organic nature of these materials, subtle variations in texture, grain, tone, patination, and minor dimensional nuances are inherent to the process. Imagery and gallery display pieces (including Artist Proofs) serve as accurate references, but final pieces may display unique, natural distinctions. These variations are essential to the artistic integrity of collectible design and do not constitute defects.

Limitation of Liability

Neither Pièce de Résistance nor its represented designers and artists shall be held liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the handling, installation, use, or placement of any object. The gallery and its designers assume no liability for damage, wear, or alteration occurring after final delivery and client acceptance, including damage resulting from improper installation, environmental exposure, or normal wear and tear.
