Martini Side Table

A slender, jewel-like object as much as a table, the Martini Side Table by John Richard distills presence into the purest of proportions — nineteen inches of considered height resolving into an eight-inch footprint with quiet authority. Composed entirely of glass and crystal, it refracts light rather than simply occupying it, lending any interior an atmosphere of cool, faceted luminosity. Its silhouette, spare and architectural, recalls the elegance of vintage barware elevated to the scale of furniture — a piece that holds a drink, a bloom, or simply space itself with equal grace.
