Round Ruga Mirror, Large Nickel

At fifty-four inches across, the Round Ruga Mirror commands a wall the way a full moon commands the night sky — its presence architectural rather than merely decorative. The nickel finish moves through light with a cool, silvered restraint, while the enamel work introduces a layer of considered craft to the metal surround. John Richard's hand is evident in the scale and the confidence with which the piece holds its geometry, asking very little of the room while giving it everything.
