Seletti - Multidish Quadruplo tray

Trays with landscapes and ephemeral architecture that lead to a dreamlike world of poetry.

Maxime Ansiau

Maxime Ansiau is a French artist living in the Netherlands, who has spent the last 25 years searching for objects, collecting materials in collections, which in a period of time have a significant meaning until becoming a new work. The primary relationship of collecting, housing and thinking about objects can last from two to ten years until the problem posed in storing them, requires a conceptualized solution for their reuse.
"I always start with a collection of something. It could be a plastic toy, a sticker, or a stack of books or an old sink. Then once you have a bunch of things you have a problem on your hands, because you have to do something from it."

His work is process-driven, time-consuming and requires patient patience to create a modernized version of past values that support etiquette and respect for materials, that he believes are not represented with the same depth in the digital world.
His work is a process that helps him make sense of the world in form and each work can be either a comfort, representing an era of simplicity or a question to remind us of the cost of our actions.

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'.
