White Tray with Selenite Handles

A sculptural exercise in contrast, this John Richard tray pairs the quiet warmth of wood with selenite handles whose translucent, striated surfaces catch light with an almost mineralogical authority. At twenty-four inches wide, the form commands a console or ottoman with the confidence of a considered object rather than a casual accessory. The white finish grounds the composition in a cool, architectural restraint that allows the natural variation of the selenite to read as the singular gesture it is.
