Seletti - Hybrid Ipazia flat plate

When east and west combine. A collection that reflects the ancient historical production of Western and Eastern ceramics. Hybrid decorations that come from a complex past that evolves into contemporary forms.

CTRLZAK

CTRLZAK is a hybrid studio combining several disciplines and forms of expressions founded by artists and designers Katia Meneghini and Thanos Zakopoulos. The studio works internationally in the field of contemporary art and design, and its creations are based on in-depth research into the cultural history of humanity and the natural world around us in order to create a better future. Thanks to its’ interdisciplinary approach CTRLZAK specialises in art direction while creating artworks, objects and spaces but above all points of reflection where form follows meaning. Through the use of semiotic tools within the creative process the studio conceives projects and orchestrates situations that overcome common aesthetic values operating on a deeper cognitive level, aspiring to make people consider their actions and the planet that we live in.

Seletti - A stunning place joining design and pop art

Seletti, a company history of vision and evolution. A story that began in 1964 by Romano Seletti, who from 1972 embarked on a series of commercial trips to the Far East, soon becoming a pioneer in the importation of household products - bamboo objects, enamel tableware and native Chinese products typical of the time. "Enthusiasm, passion, creativity and experimentation, over time the Seletti family has created a true brand that is recognised and established worldwide, a series of collections that have launched design classics," says Stefano Seletti. "I am also collaborating with people and personalities from outside the design world in the strict sense of the word: artists, visionaries, with whom I would like to cross some 'barriers'. My unusually non-academic training naturally leads me to be 'transversal', a journey into the idea of 'a new beauty'.

Stefano Seletti, quarantaquattro anni, due figlie, una moglie, una famiglia, un’azienda. E poi, l’accento emiliano. Il patron di Seletti, che dai pentolini da latte e i battipanni venduti nei mercati rionali di Roma è passata agli scaffali del MoMA Design Store di New York, in realtà è l’imprenditore della porta accanto, sorridente e ben educato, coi piedi per terra e quell’accento in grado di rendere ancora meglio la genuinità, la densità e la bellezza della realtà Seletti.
