There was a design that I ran across not too long ago that I think I remember being attributed to Donald Judd. I could be wrong. I think I remember this design being sold as new on a site that offered many variations of the design.

The main concept was a very long benchlike platform in wood in a very simple, almost parsons table type design. The weird part, and the part that varies from design to design, is the random placement of simple chair back (almost like a wooden school chair).

You might have one 8 foot bench with one chair back on the side, and two on the back in random spots. I hope this rings a bell with someone.

That doesn't sound the same...
That doesn't sound the same as this project.
This design hass very simple planes, not too dissimilar from Judd's regualr work. The backs (that are placed in seemingly random places) are very simple as well.

I seem to
recall such a design. Is there any possibility that it could have been an experiment of George Nakashima ?
