Djivan Schapira, Orbit Occasional Table XIII
We are pleased to unveil a striking new evolution in Djivan Schapira’s Orbital Table series: a matte finish that subtly redefines the artist’s bold, futuristic vision. Known for his radiant resin surfaces and kinetic color palettes, Schapira now introduces a softer, more grounded aesthetic—one that lends his signature tables an unexpected elegance and intimacy.
Available in small side, low, and center table formats, these latest Orbital Tables retain the interstellar ambition that has become synonymous with Schapira’s work, while ushering in a refined sensibility through the matte surface treatment. This finish diffuses light rather than reflecting it, giving the forms a sculptural presence that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Each version is individually distinguished not only by Schapira’s complex resin compositions but also by subtle material accents. The white table is fitted with hand-wrapped bronze wire legs, a warm counterbalance to its crisp surface. In contrast, the darker variation features cool silver wire detailing, accentuating its galactic depth. These tactile choices speak to Schapira’s long-standing dialogue with the traditions of fine decorative arts—filtered through a distinctly futuristic lens.
This matte finish marks an exciting new direction for the studio, one that will likely appear across select upcoming works. As always, each piece is one-of-a-kind—an alchemical fusion of craft, concept, and cultural reference points ranging from the Bauhaus revival and mid-century sci-fi to French marquetry and digital-age iconography.
Crafted in his New Jersey atelier, with sweeping views of the Hudson and the New York skyline, Schapira’s tables are the result of over a decade of rigorous material exploration, and a lifetime steeped in craftsmanship. With this new chapter, he continues to expand the boundaries of collectible design—offering objects that are as richly considered as they are visually arresting.
