Civilization Table, by Duffy London
Civilization is a series of uniquely hand-carved marble coffee and dining tables, based on ancient Temples and Monuments hewn from their surrounding landscapes. This series pays homage to their great artistry, to create pieces that will last for the civilisations that come long after us.
Each table is made bespoke to order from several types of coloured marble. The stone is hand-selected for every commission, and then sculpted using traditional tools and techniques; an enduring tribute to the original historic Wonders, and a reminder of the power of sculpture as an art form.
“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 their genius to make this series of pieces”.
