Demeter Vase, Large Green

The Demeter Vase commands attention through sheer verticality — its 24.5-inch form rising with the quiet authority of a classical column, rendered in metal and brass with an acrylic composition that catches and holds light in equal measure. A nickel finish lends cool luminosity to the silhouette, while the enamel work in deep green grounds the piece with the kind of saturated, unhurried color that reads as both ancient and entirely current. From John Richard, it belongs to that rare category of decorative object that needs nothing around it to feel complete — and yet elevates everything it stands beside.
