11/09/2019 - The unmistakable style of Seletti returns to amaze the public at Maison & Objet, the Parisian fair dedicated to decoration. Always at the forefront and thinking outside the box, Seletti presents the latest news on this occasion: objects and furnishings with an eclectic and contemporary look.
Creative director of the brand, Stefano Seletti, says “It’s always fun for us to be in Paris for Maison & Objet. We breathe a lot of energy and spend many months preparing new products with designers as well as our research and development team, so we can come here with unique products that can be true statement pieces. The international nature of this fair allows us to develop a worldwide presence and continue to grow internationally”
New explorations for the SELETTI WEARS TOILETPAPER collection, which is enriched with pencil cases and pouches in printed fabric, and a new side table featuring graphics created by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari.
The collaboration with Marcantonio introduces new projects such as the Heart Lamp light as well as new versions of the My Little series, the Botanical Diva armchairs and sofas, the coat hangers, the Monkey Chandelier and new elements of the Memorabilia Mvsevm collection.
In the lighting section there is also Cupolone, AMeBE studio’s new project. Cupolone is a suspension lamp that combines craftsmanship and technology, a hyper-realistic reproduction of the dome of Saint Peter, made of resin and presented in two colors.
The art de la table catalogue is enriched with Palace, the tableware collection developed by Alesandro Zambelli as a homage to the Renaissance architecture.
The Diesel Living with Seletti collection, created in collaboration with one of the most innovative and avant-garde fashion brands, returns to outer space with the Solar Hanger hangers inspired by the solar system, and the 'new planet' in the Cosmic Diner line: Earth Dish is presented in two versions, with two different views of the Earth from space.
Among the special projects are the sculptures by Tatiana Brodatch and Max Huges.
Tatiana Brodatch conceived the project LOVE IS A VERB, a series of eight resin sculptures full of feeling and freedom that celebrate solitary or shared nudity.
The main features of her work are in fact male and female figures - naked or minimally covered - who, caught in their intimacy, celebrate eroticism with irony and ease, placing themselves as a hymn to self-acceptance. Represented in fragile and soft forms, the characters full of Eros are immortalized in moments of tangible passion, intent on investigating each other with blatant sincerity: the artist thus gives rise to a narrative of intimacy, a story of the thousand facets of love affairs.
Max Huges presents Axcept Global Warming, a project that demonstrates this young Parmesan artist’s ability to reflect on important themes through the lens of irony in his works. The title of the project, Axcept Global Warming, is a play on words around the concept of Global Warming. On the one hand 'accepting', acknowledging and being aware of the phenomenon that is affecting the entire planet, and on the other hand succeeding to counter this situation, giving - figuratively speaking - an 'acceptance' to a threat that in an ideal world should be defeated to safeguard the world in which we live.
The double meaning of the title manifests itself visually in the ax symbol, which Huges transforms for Seletti into an object with a pop aesthetic.
Last but not least, the new project by Studio Job for the BLOW by JOB&SELETTI collection, the joint venture between Seletti and the duo composed of Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel. Inspired by their stained-glass projects, these Gospel collection products are born: wall lamps that subversively but subtly reinterpret the style of the sacred art.
