Midtown Ottoman - 2238

A compact architectural object as much as it is a seat, the Midtown Ottoman from John Richard commands attention through the quiet tension between its brushed brass metalwork and the luminous inlay of mother of pearl shell across its surface. At twenty inches in height and twenty-two inches square, its proportions are deliberate — neither too retiring nor too insistent — allowing it to anchor a conversation grouping or stand alone as a sculptural accent. The interplay of warm metal, wood, and iridescent shell speaks to a collector's sensibility, layering material and light in a way that rewards close attention.
