Plateau Cocktail Table, Silver

The Plateau Cocktail Table arrives as a study in considered restraint — its tamo ash surface held aloft by a metal architecture finished in polished stainless steel, the whole composition resolving into a silhouette that is simultaneously grounded and luminous. At seventeen inches in height and spanning just over four feet in each direction, the square form commands its footprint with the quiet authority of a well-placed object that knows precisely what it is. John Richard's hand is evident in the calibration of material against material, wood's warmth in deliberate conversation with the cool, mirror-like planes of stainless steel. It is the kind of table that anchors a seating arrangement without overpowering it — a piece that earns its place through proportion rather than gesture.
