“God gave the sea the danger and the abyss, but it was in it that He mirrored the sky.”
Fernando Pessoa
London based Design Studio Duffy London releases the Abyss Dining Table, a new limited-edition piece for Autumn 2021.
A new addition to the highly sought after Abyss collection – in 2019 on piece was acquired by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris to go on permanent display as part of the National Collection – Abyss Dining continues designer Chris Duffy’s explorations of the concept of depth and depth perception, with a mesmerising new depiction of the Earth’s seabed, played out in vivid turquoise colours and grounded in a resplendent mirror polished stainless steel or matte black finish.
“I was simply trying to represent depth…the way the colour of the iceberg against the water darkens”
Chris Duffy
When assembled into a table, the intricate layering of glass and wood materials combines to create a three-dimensional viewing canvas; the yellow-tinted wood reacts with the layers of blue glass to produce an array of luxurious colours – a vivid depiction of the seabed, offering a glimpse into the thrilling depths from the comfort of the dining room.
Limited to just 11 editions, the Abyss Dining is raised to dining – or boardroom – level at 75cm high on matte black or mirror polished stainless steel plinths and offered fully bespoke to meet individual seating requirements.
Every piece is handmade at the Duffy London studio in Victoria Dock, East London using eco-friendly materials from controlled sources and wood from Forestry Stewardship Council managed forests.
The Abyss Dining Table 2021 is limited to 11 editions and is available now with worldwide shipping offered.
Bespoke pieces are available on request.
