Videre Licet, "Black Woolly Bella", Chair, 2014

About the Item

The Woolly Bella was imagined as a descendent of a tryst between Carlo Mollino and Jean Royère, a secret love child of midcentury European design born into the glamour of contemporary Hollywood. 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".
