Videre Licet, "Subtracted Cube", Chair, 2015

About the Item

Subtracted Cube is a study in blending minimalism with extravagant luxury. The name derives from one of the essential digital modeling elements, using one primitive form to remove from another to create a third. Executed in brass, the result is a minimal yet surreally glamorous 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 1970s 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".
