Diesel Living by Foscarini, Moroso, Seletti, and Scavolini at WantedDesign

The Diesel lifestyle is built on passion, creativity and strong personality. Using the brand’s ironic and unexpected approach to design, the new home collection reflects every aspect of the Diesel philosophy. Rough materials, contrasting shapes and textural treatments are part of the brand heritage — all of it nestled in a brave denim spirit. For the first time in the US, Foscarini, Moroso, Seletti and Scavolini along with the Diesel team will recreate a Diesel Living space at WantedDesign, introducing their latest collection of lighting products, furniture, home accessories and kitchen designs. The domestic installation comes to life through four thematic areas, boldly influenced by core Diesel values: Nightlife, Make Love not War, Urban Blue and Poplife represent the rock, military, denim and pop attitude of the brand. The space will be a place to experiment Diesel lifestyle, and will host special events throughout the 4 days. More
