Following its smashing European success, the Diesel x Seletti collaboration is coming to the US. Both the [Machine Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-mechanical-pencil) and the [Cosmic Diner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-collection) will be exhibited at the NYNOW trade show in New York City's Javits Center.

The Machine Collection is characterized by a unique vision, reinterpreting an industrial aesthetic into traditional utensils and dishware with toothed edges and threads. The Cosmic Diner collection, on the other hand, is a little more surreal, both in its concept and execution. The set of dishes is intended to represent the sun, moon and all nine planets.

The table setting is bolstered with the [Ghost Shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmos-x-ghost-in-the-shell-x-reebok) (a punk reinterpretation of a glass dome), the Transmission ceramic candle sticks and wrench-shaped cutlery.
