Stiletto Table Lamp, Nickel

The Stiletto Table Lamp by John Richard commands presence through its slender, architectural silhouette — a composition of composite, metal, and crystal resolved in a polished nickel finish that reads equally as sculpture and as light source. At thirty-three and a half inches tall, its proportions are deliberate and self-assured, drawing the eye upward with the quiet authority of a well-placed exclamation in an otherwise measured room. A linen shade crowns the form with softness, tempering the cool luminosity of the nickel and allowing the lamp to move gracefully between the formal and the intimate.
