Farfalla Box

The Farfalla Box from John Richard is a study in material contrast and quiet authority — brass, steel, and leather converging in a composition that reads as much as sculpture as it does as object. At eight inches in height and twelve inches square, its proportions are deliberate, scaled to command a console, library shelf, or occasional table without overwhelming the surrounding arrangement. The interplay of metal and leather speaks to a considered tension between the industrial and the tactile, the structural and the supple. It is the kind of piece a curated interior accumulates rather than merely acquires.
