Shard Box, Large

A commanding presence on any surface, the large Shard Box by John Richard reconciles the warm resonance of wood with the cool authority of metal and aluminum, all unified beneath a luminous gold finish. At once sculptural object and functional vessel, its generous proportions — five and a quarter inches in height, fourteen and a quarter wide — lend it the quiet authority of something that belongs equally in a curated vitrine or anchoring a console. The geometry feels deliberate, almost architectural, as if each plane were resolved with the same attention a designer brings to a room's larger composition.
