Translucent Ridges Bowl

A sculptural vessel of considerable presence, the Translucent Ridges Bowl by John Richard commands attention through its interplay of light and surface — composite material rendered with an almost geological rhythm of ridges that catch and diffuse illumination in equal measure. At nineteen inches across, its generous proportion speaks to a confidence of scale rarely achieved in decorative objects of this nature. It is the kind of piece that anchors a console, anchors a room, and quietly insists upon itself without demanding explanation.
