Videre Licet, "BBC", Coffee Table, 2014
About the Item
With a tongue-in-cheek name that stands for Big Black Crystal, among other things, the BBC is based on a large black crystal found in Brazil while attending an ayahuasca ceremony. Blending hippy trippy references with a minimalist aesthetic sensibility resulted in this enigmatic sculptural form.
About Videre Licet (designer):
Launched in 2014, Videre Licet (Latin for "to be able to see") is a collaboration between artist/designer Daniele Albright and designer/curator Stefan Lawrence. Based in Los Angeles, they intersect practices of art and design and describe their work as "conceptual glamour," bridging a wide range of California references from Hollywood glamour to minimalist sculpture to '70s experimentalism. Designed using contemporary technologies but crafted entirely by hand, the collection includes functional pieces as well as sculptural works produced in limited editions. The New York Times has called the collection "daring, glamorous and a touch tongue-in-cheek" while the Wall Street Journal says it "exemplifies the push-me-pull-you tension between minimalism and materiality that defines luxury design".
