Ringed Hurricane, Small

A quietly commanding presence on any surface, the Ringed Hurricane from John Richard distills the candle vessel to its most architectural essentials — concentric brass rings encircling a glass cylinder in a composition that is at once structural and luminous. At sixteen and a half inches tall, its proportion is considered: substantial enough to register within a vignette yet restrained enough to invite a companion piece. The interplay of metal and glass rewards the light it holds, casting a warm geometry across any surface it inhabits.
