The iconic collection resulting from the Italian brand's collaboration with the pictorial magazine Toiletpaper is now in FA! Mugs, plates, rugs, bags and umbrellas decorated with quirky graphics lined with dark humour will appeal to lovers of tongue-in-cheek design.

The motto of the Italian brand Seletti is vision and development. Since it was founded in 1964, its founders Romano and Maria Seletii have embodied the idea of innovation and have been ahead of the trends with their offerings. In the following years, the brand became synonymous with provocative designs, combining art and motifs from pop culture with high quality. Teaming up with the controversial Toiletpaper magazine, the company created a vintage-style collection that incorporated imagery. Decorated with playful, sometimes creepy collages, the items are unique gadgets that will bring an artistic dose of humour to interiors and are a great gift idea.

Colourful design with a wink

The collection features predominantly strong colours and patterns, such as fly-controlled food, severed fingers, eyeballs touching each other or burgers in the form of a toad in a bun. In addition to this, the designs available include those in the cute category: pastel colours, little horses, kittens and oversweetened views. So, on the one hand, these are accessories for people who love to shock and love controversy, and on the other hand, for those looking for distinctive decorations that will become part of their collection of curiosities.

Decorations from another world

The Seletti Wears Toiletpaper collection is about ordinary objects clothed in extraordinary imagery. After all, the images created in the minds of artists such as Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari could not be ordinary. They combine surreal visions with the retro aesthetics of the 1960s and 1970s: bright colours, strong contrasts and dreamlike motifs. In the Seletti range, these have been applied to carpets and mirrors that transport us to another world.

Quirky retro for the kitchen

Seletti Wears Toiletpaper also offers a wide range of crockery and other kitchen accessories that will ensure meals are never boring again.... The range of enamelled cups and bowls brings to mind the old days, when ceramics were a superfluity and metal utensils were a functional part of any kitchen.
