Seletti Bar stool Multicoloured Textile. Dimensions: L 58 × Depth 60 cm x
H 92 cm. It’s Maurizio Cattelan, an inescapable figure of contemporary art,
and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari who created this capsule collection for
Seletti. Unlike any other, it’s provocative, amusing, absurd and eccentric
all at once. The items in the collection are decorated with surrealist images
taken from the Toilet Paper magazine, founded in 2010 by the two Italian
artists. Perfectly manicured cut-off fingers, soap with a bite taken out of it,
fish stuffed with precious gems, a canary with a cut-off wing, and more.
Dreamlike Toilet Paper motifs tinged with black humour inspired by the worlds of
fashion and advertising, combining commercial photography, twisted visual
narratives and surreal imagery. Toilet Paper questions our contemporary
obsession for images, explores our most unspeakable desires and urges. The
different pieces from the Toilet Paper collection are strikingly illustrated, a
mix of disturbing normality and troubling ambiguity, where dread combines with
visual pleasure.A work of art in itself, the Toilet Paper collection questions,
due to its affordability and wide distribution, the nature and limitations of
the modern art market. This questioning has always been central to Maurizio
Cattelan's work. Retro Scandinavian lines, a bold graphic display highlighted
with bright, contrasting colours … one thing’s for sure – the Lipsticks
bar chair will attract everyone's attention! With its low backrest and padded
seat, it’s welcoming and very comfortable. Its velvet cover with its intense
colours and gold-tinted metal legs give it a classic royal look that the
illustrations counterbalance with humour.
