Lombard Side Table

The Lombard Side Table from John Richard moves through a room with the quiet authority of a well-considered object — its mappa burl veneer surface unfolding in the organic, almost painterly figuration that only this particular wood can produce. At twenty-four and a half inches tall, the proportions are deliberate and resolved, scaled to hold a lamp or a single object without overreaching. The natural finish allows the material to speak without mediation, preserving the full depth of the burl's movement and tone. It is the kind of piece that rewards proximity — more nuanced in person, and more essential with time.
