Renata Side Table

A study in geological luxury, the Renata Side Table presents a surface of agate whose banded striations read almost as a landscape unto themselves, framed in brass-finished aluminum that lends the piece its quiet authority. At twenty-six inches in each dimension, the form achieves a rare cubic equipoise — substantial enough to anchor a seating arrangement yet refined in its proportions. John Richard's command of mixed materiality is fully evident here, the cool weight of stone held in conversation with warm metallic finish.
