Toiletpaper, Gufram and Seletti Take Over Galeries Lafayette Paris

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Toiletpaper, the image-only magazine founded by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, returns to collaborate with Italian design brands Gufram and Seletti following a successful stint at Untitled Miami Beach in December 2015. This time, the creative duo will transform the historic Galeries Lafayette department store in Paris with a new window display, an exhibition at the Galerie des Galeries, and an installation under the iconic dome. For the windows facing Boulevard Haussmann, Toiletpaper has created 11 images inspired by summer, Paris, and romance, featuring scenes such as the Eiffel Tower vacationing on a desert island and a woman surrounded by objects from the magazine's visual universe. The exhibition, titled TP-rama, showcases the Seletti wears Toiletpaper collection—including tin tableware, porcelain plates, rugs, umbrellas, and mirrors—alongside Gufram's unconventional seating pieces Soap and The End, including the limited edition The End 1516 in faux-Carrara marble produced for the brand's 50th anniversary, as well as the contemporary idol God. Cattelan and Ferrari describe the Galerie des Galeries intervention as an experiential platform where visitors can interact and purchase objects that reflect the Toiletpaper aesthetic, each contextualized in a domestic landscape of surreal rooms forming a 1:1 scale lysergic dollhouse. Toiletpaper will also invade the space under the dome with an installation.
