Donald Judd Furniture

This gem-like publication introduces readers to the furniture designs of renowned minimalist sculptor Donald Judd. Spurred originally by the trouble Judd had in furnishing his home in Marfa, Texas, as re-counted in the essay 'It's Hard to Find a Good Lamp', these furniture designs exemplify the directness of form and presence for which his artworks are celebrated as well as offering an unadorned functionality. In this book they are presented through detailed drawings and breakdowns of materials, which allow for DIY construction, alongside colour photography exploring their effect in situ. As well as providing a comprehensive survey of a little-known aspect of Judd's work, Furniture forms an eloquent mediation on functionality, form, and the possibilities of design in a world of mass-production.
