Meet the Furniture Designer Who Owns Donald Judd's Old Pickup Truck

“Sentimentalizing the machine is now a malignity of the century,” wrote Donald Judd in his 1993 essay “It’s Hard to Find a Good Lamp,” as he called out Marcel Breuer and Le Corbusier for designing chairs that “derived from the better camping and military chairs of the nineteenth century”–with the addition of a steely, machine-age gloss. Judd found this particular buffing up and repackaging of old good ideas “almost forgivable” (for the latter, extreme examples of machine fetish, such as Rogers and Piano‘s Pompidou Center, he had not a trace of sympathy), so we hope that he’ll pardon us for sentimentalizing his own machine: a 1972 Dodge pickup with a distinctive black-and-white paint job.
