Seletti - Vanity mirror

Mirror, mirror of my lusts, who is the most beautiful in the realm?  The hand of the observer becomes an integral part of the mirror. Vintage becomes contemporary.

Giampiero Romanò

Giampiero Romanó, born in '73, is a Milanese artist. He does not train at design courses nor attending an Academy of Arts, but among the nails, hammers and paints of his own laboratory, in the beating heart of the Porta Venezia district, dedicating himself for more than twenty years to the research and restoration of vintage-design pieces.
Since his early years he has been traveling in search of vintage pieces by the great Italian names in design, making himself a culture in the field, tools in hand; his passion becomes irresistible.
A few years later he began to collaborate with the magazine Toiletpaper Magazine Di Maurizio Cattelan e Pier Paolo Ferrari and his creativity, combined with a great experience, took shape in a collection of over 100 pieces made and exhibited worldwide.

Ironic, visionary and endowed with great dexterity, developed in years of craftsmanship, Giampiero begins to give voice to his ideas and inspirations, creating an alternative universe made of mirrors.
In fact, these are the protagonists of his creations: mirrors. Some cut them, others sew them, disassemble them, illuminate them, riddle them.
You could try to interpret the pieces of art of Giampiero Romanó as his search for identity; maybe so, but Giampiero does not allow himself time to stop and reflect: he must create.
His need is only to not hold back what he feels and to give shape to everything he imagines.

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'.
