Videre Licet
Launched in 2014, Videre Licet is a collaboration between artist and designer, Daniele Albright and designer and curator, Stefan Lawrence. Based in Los Angeles, they intersect practises of art and design and describe their work as conceptual glamor, bridging a wide range of California references from Hollywood glamor to minimalist sculpture to 1970s experimentalism.
Designed using contemporary technologies, but crafted entirely by hand, their collection includes functional pieces, as well as sculptural works produced in limited editions. The New York Times has called their 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.
