About the art
Artist statement
First sketched in 2012, the Duffy London Abyss table aims to represent depth, using layers of wood and sculpted glass to produce a visual effect that’s reminiscent of our perception of water and how we observe its colour transform at different depths.
Glass and wood materials combine to create a three-dimensional viewing canvas; the yellow-tinted wood reacts with the layers of blue glass to produce an array of luxurious turquoise colours – a vivid depiction of the seabed, as if a mythical power had lifted a perfect circle cut straight from the Earth’s crust to use as his own personal ornament.
This is a one-off edition piece in a unique oval shape.
