Barcelona-based studio DA.CH., founded by Víctor Díaz-Asensio and Ourania Chamilaki, presents the Offcut Table—a modular furniture system that transforms discarded marble offcuts into elegant, sculptural pieces. The project was commissioned by the Benaki Museum, which sought a furniture solution that would combine material reuse with a timeless, minimal aesthetic. The concept is built around a simple structure: a flat piece of marble supported by slender steel legs that attach at key points. These “points” form the project’s core idea—minimal, precise interventions that turn a raw slab into a finished object. Depending on the configuration, the system can become a table, a stool, or a bench. Each marble surface is different, shaped by its cut and natural variations, making every piece unique. The steel legs are standard, but their placement changes to adapt to the form and function of the piece. The result is a collection of objects that feel both industrial and poetic—reduced to essentials, yet rich in material presence. While each item stands alone, together they form a family of pieces—what the designers describe as an “archipelago”— connected by a shared language of material and proportion. The Offcut Table is a quiet meditation on reuse, modularity, and the expressive power of minimal design details.
