Donald Judd, one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, was well-known for his large-scale minimalist works as well as his association with the desert town of Marfa, Texas. He was a master of scale and detail, space and volume. In his later years, he began designing furniture like his minimalist sculptures. The Donald Judd No. 84 Chair, first designed in 1991, is exquisite.
This model, constructed of a deep greenish black laminate over plywood, was manufactured in 2006 by Wood & Plywood Furniture.
"In the early 1970s, Donald Judd began to design furniture for 101 Spring Street in New York. His first designs were a wood bed and metal sinks. In 1977, he returned to furniture design through necessity; he needed pieces for his children’s bedrooms in Marfa, Texas, and pieces for the entire residence. By 1984, Judd had designed a range of wood furniture including a bed, desk, and a daybed; and metal furniture including chairs, benches, beds, and a table. That same year, Judd had his first exhibition of metal furniture at Max Protetch in New York. From 1984 to 1993, he continued to develop new designs. At this time he began writing in more formal terms about furniture and his approach to design, fabrication, sales, and distribution.
Fundamental to Judd’s designs are his specifications regarding dimensions, material type, finish, and construction of each piece. Judd specified that the quality remain high, a considered approached given that fabrication of the furniture involved the expertise and handwork of both local carpenters and master craftsmen. He selected fabricators he entrusted with the interpretations of his designs, working directly with them to develop and refine his desired level of quality." ~ From Donald Judd Foundation
