Origami Bowl, Tall Nickel

The Origami Bowl in tall nickel from John Richard translates the ancient vocabulary of folded form into polished metal, its angular planes catching and redistributing light with quiet geometric authority. Constructed of steel and brass, the vessel stands seven inches tall with a composed, symmetrical presence that reads equally as sculpture and as object of use. Its nickel finish imparts a cool luminosity that holds its own against both the warmth of natural materials and the austerity of a monochromatic interior. A studied exercise in precision and restraint, it brings an architectural sensibility to the tabletop or console.
