The iconic lifestyle brand Diesel and Seletti, internationally recognized for its revolutionary design, collaborate for a line of accessories for the house, part of the collection Diesel Living, which sees the Diesel creative team and Seletti designers working together for the perfect fusion of the Diesel lifestyle and the creative expertise of Seletti. For Seletti, space has always been a great inspiration, with the futuristic cyber-punk approach. A fascinating and mysterious world, where the equipment for space mission, the shapes of the spaceships, the details of machinery and textures become a source of inspiration for the creation of objects.

The collection includes
MACHINE COLLECTION: is the interpretation in fine white porcelain of mechanisms and gears with toothed edges and threads. It includes plates and cups, containers and bowls, mugs and cups and cutlery. An entire line all scrambled for a dynamic "mise-en-table".

COSMIC DINER: is a visionary set of porcelain dishes that represent the nine planets, the Sun and the Moon. The board seems to lack "dimensionality", thanks to this set of plates printed with images with a definition of extra-terrestrial beauty. Cosmic Diner is a set of dishes that plays with textures, colors and fantasy. Some not common images of planets were drawn up to make them perfect for Galaxy Diesel Living. Cosmic Diner comes as a dish itself, but the set is also perfect hanging, decoration of the wall.

DIY Placesetting is a perfect addition to the Machine collection. Cutlery DIY is shaped like wrenches: it seems designed to be placed in toolbox, but instead finds its ideal location in the kitchen drawer. Knives, forks and spoons, available in sizes 10 to 13 mm wrench.

To enrich and complete the Diesel Living table with Seletti we find GHOST SHELL, the reinterpretation of the classic showcase exhibition, in a "punk" version. The base is in ceramic studded effect, and the half chrome urn is degradè mirror effect, which eclipses part of its transparency giving an aura of mystery.

The Candelabra TRANSMISSION, instead, are inspired by industrial mechanical parts, re-imagined as architectural pillars. A collection of three ceramic pieces is given today in a new white finish to be perfectly combined with the Machine collection. This variant emphasizes the contrast between the delicacy of the ceramic and the aesthetics of industrial power.
