DUFFY LONDON UNVEILS THEIR
NEW TABLE COLLECTION NAMED
CIVILIZATION
Duffy London, internationally acclaimed
design studio, known for designs like the
Abyss Table or the incredible UP Balloon
Table, has revealed their brand-new
collection of tables named Civilization. A
series of tables based on ancient temples
and monuments from around the world
carved straight out of the landscape with
the most intricate skills.
“The mother art is architecture. Without an
architecture of our own, we have no soul of
our own civilization.”
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
Christopher Duffy about the project:
“I’d been in discussions with a team of
master stonemasons, on possible projects
to work together on, we had come up with
quite a few concepts, but nothing quite
grabbed me, and then I saw a friend’s
photographs from his Saudi Arabia trip. A
picture he took at Qasr-al-Farid is how it all
started. This was the perfect subject matter
as these ancient monuments had long
been fascinating to me. I then thought of
Petra in Jordan and the Kailasa Temple in
India. The ancient masters who designed
and carved these most impressive pieces
are impossible to improve upon, and so we
have simply reinterpreted/rescaled their
genius to make this series of pieces.”
