Loftus Pedestal Corto

The Loftus Pedestal Corto by John Richard commands its space with the quiet authority of a classical column reinterpreted for the contemporary interior. Its glass and crystal construction catches and disperses light with an almost mineralogical clarity, while the Tiza Gesso finish lends the surface a chalky, fresco-like softness that tempers the inherent brilliance of the materials. At thirty-five inches in height, the pedestal holds an ideal proportion — substantial enough to anchor a composition, refined enough to yield to whatever rests upon it.
