Suteki Nightstand

The Suteki Nightstand from John Richard moves with the quiet authority of a collector's object, its beech construction finished in Tiza Gesso to achieve a chalky, almost fresco-like surface that reads as both ancient and entirely contemporary. Brushed brass hardware anchors the piece with just enough warmth to prevent austerity, while acrylic elements introduce a studied lightness — a transparency that keeps the form from ever feeling heavy beside the bed. At thirty inches in height and thirty-two wide, the proportions are generous without being imposing, scaled for a room that understands restraint. This is a nightstand conceived as furniture and resolved as art.
