Seletti Padded armchair Pink Textile. Dimensions: L 60 x Depth 50 x H 72cm.
It is Maurizio Cattelan, an inescapable figure of contemporary art, and
photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari who created this capsule collection for Seletti.
Unlike any other, it is 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 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 tinted 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. All the items in the Toilet
Paper collection present startling scenes, mixing disturbing normality and
troubling ambiguity, stirring feelings of horror combined with a visual
pleasure. A work of art in itself, the Toilet Paper collection questions, due
to its accessible price and wide distribution, the nature and limits of the
contemporary art market. Questions that have always been central to Maurizio
Cattelan's work. Retro Scandinavian lines, a bold graphic display highlighted
with bright, contrasting colours, one thing is for sure – the Toiletpaper
padded armchair will attract everyone's attention! With its deep, enveloping
seat, it’s inviting and very comfortable. Their polyester covering with its
intense colours and black metal legs with brass end pieces give them a classic,
royal look that the illustrations counterbalance with humour.
