Marfa Modern

"mid-century modern furniture museum in Marfa, Texas"

A restrained palette inspired by the high desert landscape and minimalist art installations of West Texas. Concrete and adobe ground the primaries, cooled by open sky and sage. A single neon accent nods to Marfa's roadside signage, while the neutrals evoke raw plaster gallery walls and the vast emptiness of the Chihuahuan Desert.
