As part of the ongoing Seletti Wears Toiletpaper collection, which includes furniture and homeware designs, Seletti presented a series of retro cabinets at Milan Design Week. According to Seletti, its collaboration with Toiletpaper is one of its top-selling collections.
The new retro styles fuse vintage Scandinavian sideboards with graphic images from Toiletpaper magazine such as a bunch of hands holding red lipstick tubes, weapons dripping with gold paint, collage-like flower arrangements with eyeballs at their center and other scenes that the Italian brand Seletti describes as "crazy and over-the-top."
As Toiletpaper publishes visuals rather than words, this collaborative collection truly gives people the chance to have a piece of the surreal magazine in their home.
