At Maison&Objet Seletti will present new pieces, in addition to the restyling of some of its bestsellers.

A love for the unexpected and irreverent inspired the Renaissance library and the objects of the Flower Attitude collection, which will be premiered in Paris. The Parisian stage will also see new versions of the Assemblage bookshelf, Bellavista lamps, and the new Alphafont, an uppercase neon font born from the great success of Neon Art, and also available in the Alphacrete version – concrete-embedded lettering for the outdoors.

BBMDS, Renaissance, Seletti. Architectural inspirations that pay homage to quintessential Italian cityscapes – the porticos. Studio BBMDS transforms columns and sidewalks to assemblable components that bring metaphysical bookshelves to life – authentic glimpses of real and imagined cities. Renaissance consists of two units made of white and anthracite MDF; both bordered by columns, they differ in shape, the first – of reduced size – with a square form, while the second is wider and rectangular. Their combination allows for the creation of shelving (of three or four shelves) with a unique look recalling great sixteenth century architecture, an indelible mark of the Italian Renaissance
BBMDS; Alphacrete, Seletti. Alphafont is an uppercase alphabet, realized by BBMDS design studio. These bright letters are 30 cm in height, can be fixed to the walls and also combined to create words and sentences. A new project with which Seletti carries forward its passion to bring to life and immortalize words, statements, and thoughts. Seletti also previews in Paris Alphacrete the capital, the concrete shell that also makes Alphafont suitable for outdoor use
Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba, Flower Attitude, Seletti. The Capodimonte porcelain, a historic Italian creation that has equitably furnished the homes of different social classes for centuries, is the base with which Raimondi Malerba transforms disturbing figures that populate our imagination. Objects worthy of the best horror films - like the saw, chainsaw, hatchet, gun, and truncheon – become candlesticks in white porcelain, softened with flowers in gentle colors, also available as individual magnets. The bucolic historical figurines held so dear by grandmothers now give way to noir accessories with a sarcastic and fun aftertaste
