Marfa Table is a minimalist coffee table created by Paris-based designer Anthony Guerrée for La Chance. In the stark desert landscape of Marfa, Texas, where Donald Judd once found his artistic sanctuary, Anthony Guerrée has conceived a coffee table that channels the same pursuit of elemental geometry and material truth that defined Judd’s revolutionary work. The Marfa coffee table stands as both tribute and innovation – a piece that translates minimalist art principles into functional design while adding its own contemporary voice to the conversation.

At first glance, the table’s base appears to defy gravity. Intersecting aluminum beams create an optical puzzle reminiscent of M.C. Escher’s impossible constructions, each segment seemingly floating in space while forming a perfectly stable structure. This visual tension between mass and lightness speaks to Guerrée’s sophisticated understanding of both engineering and sculptural form.

The choice of sand-cast aluminum for the base reveals a commitment to authenticity in process. Each table emerges from its sandy cocoon unique, bearing subtle variations that preserve the mark of its making. This approach honors both industrial efficiency and artisanal individuality – a balance that Judd himself often explored in his furniture designs.

The tabletop, whether in embossed glass or marble, adds another layer of material dialogue. The glass option is particularly compelling, created through a process where molten glass is poured onto a flat surface, resulting in an organic topography of subtle ripples. This living surface creates a fascinating interplay with the geometric precision below, much like the way Judd’s aluminum boxes in Marfa reflect and respond to the changing desert light.
