Selenite and Coffee Bronze Buffet Lamp

A slender tower of bronzed metal and raw selenite, this buffet lamp from John Richard rises to thirty-eight and a half inches with the quiet authority of a sculptural object as much as a functional one. The interplay between the warm, oxidized iron and the translucent, mineral-veined stone creates a surface tension that shifts with the light — luminous from within, architectural from without. Its narrow ten-inch footprint makes it equally at home on a console, a sideboard, or a library table where vertical presence is the point.
