Yosemite Table Lamp

A monumental presence at thirty-three inches, the Yosemite Table Lamp by John Richard commands its surface with the authority of sculpture rather than mere illumination. The hand-blown art glass form rises with organic confidence, its depth of tone and champagne inflection catching light in the particular way that only mouth-worked glass can achieve. A textured nickel-finished aluminum framework grounds the composition, lending an architectural counterpoint to the molten expressiveness above. This is a piece that rewards the considered room — one where light itself is treated as a material.
