Smoky Blue Slender Table Lamp

A slender column of hand-painted art glass rises with quiet authority, its smoky blue tonality shifting with the light in the manner of fine studio work. Polished nickel grounds the composition at its most architectural moments, while the acrylic and brass elements resolve the form with the precision one expects from John Richard at its most considered. At thirty-eight inches, the lamp commands without overwhelming — a proportion calibrated for the side table or console where scale and atmosphere are equally at stake.
