Escutcheon in Unlacquered Brass, Vica designed by Annabelle Selldorf

Vica is furnishings, lighting and accessories by Annabelle Selldorf, distilled over three decades of award-winning architecture and interior design. Born and raised in Cologne, Germany, Selldorf founded Selldorf Architects in New York City in 1988 and conceived of furniture from the start, to fulfill specific needs in ways that the market could not match either in character or quality. Defined by a fundamental logic and expertly made. Vica is form, function and elegance, carefully proportioned. Created for the people and places that bring design to life. Today, Vica by Annabelle Selldorf expands a personal legacy. In the early 1950’s Selldorf’s lively and gregarious grandmother, Vica-Maria, founded an eponymous retail and design emporium serving local clientele in Cologne. Producing original decorative goods and interiors was a family endeavour. What Selldorf’s father and mother, aunt and uncle, designed was fabricated in the family workshops. At this time, the Vica label appeared in a flowing script against an emerald or sometimes aubergine background. Vica by Annabelle Selldorf is memory writing itself. Modernism and memory in balance.
