About the art
Artist statement
Duffy casts an eye downwards - with a captivating modern coffee table design. A deep blue Abyss appears to float effortlessly above free space, eclipsing everything that lies beneath.
A study of depth and our perception of it, the Abyss Horizon makes use of the interplay between light and layers of pristine white marble and sculpted blue glass to forge a mesmerising three-dimensional canvas - reminiscent of our own perception of water, and how we observe its colour transform at different depths.
The perceived change in colour, becomes the dynamic element that gives true meaning to the piece, conjuring up ideas of a great oceanic topography, and transforming the flowing design into an expressive object.
For the 2023 edition, three curved legs support a dramatic, contoured base section that appears to collapse down into the floor. The free, physical space around the edges of the table focuses the senses and enhances our view of a great, floating Abyss, with a colossal sinkhole at its centre.
In a design first Duffy London is now able to offer the table with the base section carved from a single block of White Italian Carrara Marble. The interaction of the marble and blue-tinted glass offers up a pure blue, with an almost arctic-like effect, linking to Christopher Duffy’s original inspiration for the table to mirror the depth and aesthetic of icebergs - which darken as they deepen.
Each piece is handmade to order and offered in two sizes.
