Simple Elegance IV

A composed study in material contrast, Simple Elegance IV brings together the luminous opacity of selenite, the cool clarity of tempered glass, and the quiet authority of stone within a slender, wall-scaled format. Hand painted and hand finished in silver champagne, the piece carries the deliberate touch of the atelier in every layer — silk and fabric lending warmth against harder, more architectural elements. At twenty inches square and four inches deep, it sits flush to the wall with the precision of a considered architectural detail rather than the casualness of decoration. A John Richard original, it is the kind of work that rewards a well-chosen wall.
