Certa Bench, Striated - 4071

A commanding horizontal presence, the Certa Bench in Striated Valyrian Gold renders the utility of seating as a work of sculptural art. Beech and composite construction underpin a steel-reinforced form that reads as confidently architectural as it does decorative, the striated surface catching light with quiet, burnished authority. At over five and a half feet in width, its generous scale demands an equally considered space — an entry hall, the foot of a grand bed, or the open plane of a gallery-like living room. This is a piece from John Richard that does not merely occupy a room; it defines one.
