Palma Nightstand

The Palma Nightstand by John Richard commands attention well beyond its intimate scale, its beech construction finished in Tiza Gesso and dressed with gold leaf detailing that renders the piece at once ancient and wholly contemporary. At thirty inches tall and thirty-six inches wide, the proportions are generous for a bedside form, lending the piece an architectural presence that anchors a room rather than merely serving it. A stone agate element — that most storied of geological ornaments — introduces depth and chromatic unpredictability, ensuring no two examples read quite the same.
