Dorset Box

A composed exercise in material contrast, the Dorset Box layers soapstone, aluminum, and steel beneath a quietly luxurious champagne finish, its textured black surfaces lending the piece an almost geological gravity. At six inches tall and eight inches square, the form is deliberately intimate — a considered object rather than a mere vessel, shaped to anchor a console, library shelf, or dressing table with understated authority. John Richard brings to it the same curatorial eye that defines the collection as a whole: nothing extraneous, nothing unconsidered.
