Dancing Butterflies Table Lamp

A sculptural composition in polished nickel and champagne-finished brass, the Dancing Butterflies lamp from John Richard animates any surface with the suggestion of movement arrested mid-flight. Its marble base grounds the piece in geological permanence, offering a quiet counterpoint to the airy metal forms that rise above it. At twenty-five and a half inches tall, the lamp occupies space with the confidence of an object that knows precisely what it is — neither purely decorative nor purely functional, but something more considered than either.
