Nobody does it like Christopher Duffy does! I am not the one saying it, that’s the buzz in the industry about the London-based designer who has dazzled us with psychedelic tables and bespoke designs time and again. Now, Christopher Duffy and his studio Duffy London have reimagined their 2009 classic, Shadow Chair with mirror-polished steel and gold finishes.
First exhibited at Salone del Mobile in 2009, the Shadow Chair plays on perceptions with its gravity-defying, cantilevered design. Back then, the chair was finished in powder-coated mild steel and polished stainless steel. Nearly fourteen years later, the studio decided to reimagine the old classic and give it a mirror-polished steel and gold touch.
“The Shadow Chair has been reimagined for 2023 with a new fragmented design that emphasizes contrast, through the interplay of light and shadow,” mentions the studio. They further add, “We wanted to push the design further, emphasizing contrasts and finding the right balance between two opposing elements.”
Other than the gorgeous finish, the biggest USP of the chair is its functionality. Poised above its own shadow, the chair not adds elegance and aesthetic to any space but also stirs conversation about the gravity-defying concept. When we have a closer glimpse at the design, we realize that the secret behind this mindboggling design is not the actual shadow but the metal sheet which depicts the shadow of the chair.

Each chair is powder-coated in matte black with other RAL color finishes available on request. Costing $4,457 (£3,500), the chair is reimagined for a limited edition and can be grabbed from the official website of Duffy London.
