Volante Table Lamp, White

The Volante Table Lamp by John Richard rises thirty-one inches in a composition of porcelain, metal, and crystal that rewards slow looking — each material chosen for the quality of light it holds or reflects. A polished nickel finish draws the eye along its structure with the quiet authority of a well-resolved architectural detail, while the glass and crystal elements scatter illumination in a manner that feels less like function than atmosphere. At eighteen inches across, the lamp commands presence without dominating, occupying the middle ground between sculpture and utility that defines the most considered interiors.
