Donald Judd Eight-piece dinner set
in sterling silver
Dinner Service
by Donald Judd
For nearly four decades, Donald Judd demonstrated his mastery of scale and proportion, through his artwork of course, but also through architecture and design projects. In 1989, Judd imagined a table service that thoroughly embodies his aesthetic philosophy.
Outlining an array of cylindrical shapes intersected by perpendicular planes, the artist designed a series of bowls, plates and cups. The original set, made up of several ceramic plates and stainless steel prototypes, fell short of the sharp-edged precision Donald Judd hoped to achieve. Today, Puiforcat is producing these pieces in sterling silver.

Here, a dinner plate is being made.
The service includes eight complementary pieces - dinner plate, bread, soup, salad and dessert - as well as a round dish, a large bread plate and a cup. Created in various dimensions, these objects form a complete table set.
