Seletti Candelabras
Finding inspiration in mundane and everyday items for the creation of covetable designer objects is only one way of defining the work of Seletti. The Italian brand’s visionary endeavor to merge design and Pop art has for decades yielded an extensive range of table lamps, chairs, sofas and other furniture and decor.
Romano Seletti founded his namesake brand as an importer of products for the home in 1964. It is now helmed by his son and daughter, Stefano and Miria Seletti. Owing to the siblings’ leadership — and the lessons learned from Romano — the company is widely recognized as an innovative force in design. Seletti furniture and objects are prized for their quality and singularity, and the brand’s owners have introduced clever, endlessly talked-about designs, such as its Hot Dog sofa and Burgher chair or its Monkey lamps and chandeliers.
One of Stefano’s own early collections of elevated decorative objects, Estetico Quotidiano, saw him using glass and porcelain to remodel common items like plastic cups and watering cans. The marriage of daily life and avant-garde design in this specific work, which is charming and also functional, speaks to Seletti’s ability to see beauty in the everyday.
Some of Seletti’s most notable home goods owe to collaborations with other talented studios. Studio Job founders Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel worked with Seletti to create unconventional lighting, like the adjustable Banana table lamp — a sculptural and fun fixture made of bronze, resin and glass — as well as a large collection of serveware including bowls, serving pieces and tea sets. The partnership also produced the aforementioned food-themed seating.
Esteemed Italian designer Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba drew on his curiosity about the natural world to design Seletti’s Jurassic lamp and other lamps inspired by the animal kingdom. Seletti and Toiletpaper magazine founders Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari created the Seletti Wears Toiletpaper line, which includes chairs emblazoned with colorful patterns and Surrealist art, mirrors, bars of soap, carpets and more. Works in the series were made available to consumers by the Museum of Modern Art’s Design Store in 2014.
Seletti furniture and objects are guaranteed to spark conversation. Each piece, expertly crafted and chock-full of personality, will breathe life into any space it calls home.
