NICCOLÒ SPIRITO
From Industrial Material to Poetic Form
In 2011, Spirito launched a second collection entirely crafted from PVC tubes, further cementing his interest in transforming industrial materials into poetic forms. In 2015, his oversized furniture installation at Società Arti e Mestieri, in Milan’s historic 5Vie district, was listed by Wallpaper as one of the “100 shows not to miss” during Fuorisalone. His work, simultaneously sculptural and functional, reflects an artistic identity positioned at the crossroads of design, architecture, and visual culture. Through Niccolò Spirito design, he continues to explore objects as narratives, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between material and meaning. His vision aligns naturally with collections like Seletti furniture, which complement his sculptural yet functional style.
Collaborative Dialogues with Design Innovators
A significant part of his journey involves collaborations with esteemed partners such as Seletti. Known for its playful and daring approach, the brand offered the perfect canvas for Spirito’s creativity. Together, they produced distinctive projects that marry irony with elegance, bringing his conceptual experiments into dialogue with international audiences. Such collaborations reinforce the standing of Niccolò Spirito studio as a hub for contemporary ideas, attracting collectors and professionals seeking innovation and artistry. His installations and projects also find harmony with the Seletti lighting collection, where illumination becomes a playful design statement.
Turning Objects into Iconic Statements
Among his iconic creations is the Seletti Velaschino vase, a design that captures his ability to turn traditional categories into contemporary statements. Falling within the universe of Seletti unique style, this piece embodies his trademark balance of humor, technique, and symbolism. Like his installation OVETTO N.3 at MIART 2018, where a 1950s cable car was transformed into an homage to architect Carlo Mollino, the vase demonstrates how Niccolò Spirito products transform objects into both functional and collectible design pieces. These creations resonate with enthusiasts of Seletti gadgets and objects, combining practicality with artistic imagination. It represents a poetic yet practical answer to those who value luxury home accessories with authentic character.
A Unique Identity in Contemporary Design
Spirito’s design language thrives on contrasts: raw industrial materials softened into elegant forms, utilitarian objects recast as art, contemporary references infused with historical echoes. His projects respond to current Italian design trends while carving a unique path that bridges private collections, galleries, and everyday interiors. Whether admirers buy Niccolò Spirito products as collectible art or choose them as statement décor, they encounter pieces that embody originality, narrative, and enduring craftsmanship. His practice proves that design can transcend categories, embodying not only functionality but also imagination and cultural memory.
