About the Item

Objects of Ecstatic Desire Nro 001 by Beyond the West Dimensions: W 35.5 x D 15.2 x H 43.8 cm. Materials: Cast glass, Brass with hand-finished patina. Weight: Approx 19 kg. Born from the earth; inspired by the sky… OBJECTS OF ECSTATIC DESIRE invokes the art of dalle de verre, exploring the contrast of raw materiality against sensuous, rococo gesture, in a quest to capture the passage of time and transience of light in form. Each piece begins with a loose sketch, resulting in the asymmetrical composition of sandcast bronze and hand-cast glass elements. Channeling material honesty in the work, OBJECTS OF ECSTATIC DESIRE embraces the inherent beauty of each material, utilizing the reflective properties of bronze and the light transmitting quality of glass to create a luminous, spiritual narrative with each original piece. The combination of patinated and polished bronze gives the object a sense of temporal decay; surfaces express the corrosion and distress that affect ancient objects over time. Fractured, the glass both transmits and refracts light; a continuum akin to the diaphanous pastel ribbons painted by the fading sun, and the milky cosmos illuminating the supernatural desert night sky. A conscious reimagining of classical elements, each object is a delirious, mystical fragment, projected into form, buried with the secrets of the temple, to be rediscovered by future searchers. Debuting at Salone del Mobile in 2024, the object was presented alongside an original short film, Ecstatic Desire, written and directed by BEYOND THE WEST. The film explores the surreal, transcendental dreamscape of the California high desert, and was produced exclusively for the 25th anniversary of SaloneSatellite. Beyond the West (BTW) was founded in 2020 by Chris Sheffield and Juliette Mutzke Felippelli in the light-filled landscape of Venice Beach. Their creative practice melds shared pleasures (the feel of a well constructed leather jacket on their shoulders, just the right amount of foam on the lip of a cortado, morning paddle outs at Surfrider Beach, the perfect playlist, the first sip of Sangiovese on a Friday afternoon) with their complementary aesthetic in design, art, vision, and style. With a combined professional design prowess spanning decades of experience, BTW has created cultural touchstones across creative disciplines. They have defined creative direction for industry legends including restauranteurs Michael Mina and Steven Starr, cultivated attitude for nightlife impresarios Amy Sacco and Rande Gerber, and activated hospitality concepts for global entertainment companies including Disney, MGM, and Virgin. They have designed indelible products that have been published and exhibited around the world including at Salone del Mobile and the MoMA Design Store. BTW has always been at the ground floor of building brands – from redefining the classic American roadside motel for Barry Sternlicht, developing strategy for Academy Award and Grammy Award-winning talent, to creating entirely new lifestyle categories for the American market – BTW are cultural influencers, focusing on the feels as much as the function, with serious sincerity and heartfelt refinement. All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance.
