Pedestal

A slender walnut pedestal by John Richard rises to forty-two and a half inches with the quiet authority of a classical column reinterpreted for the contemporary interior. Its restrained proportions — nearly four times as tall as it is wide — lend an elongated elegance that draws the eye upward, making it an architectural presence in its own right before anything is placed upon it. The warmth inherent to walnut grounds its verticality, ensuring the piece reads as something deeply considered rather than merely functional.
