About This Design
Discover the rare and iconic Gufram Cactus 1968, a groundbreaking masterpiece that blurs the line between functional furniture and autonomous art. This impressive and humorous object was created by the legendary design duo Guido Drocco & Franco Mello for the progressive Italian brand Gufram. The Cactus is considered worldwide to be one of the most important symbols of the Italian Radical Design and Pop Art movement of the 60s and 70s. Although the design surprisingly functions as a coat rack, it is first and foremost a surreal, life-sized sculpture that instantly transforms any space. This specific piece is an unprecedented and extremely rare collector's item: It is one of the very first examples from the original, limited edition of 2,000 pieces, manufactured in 1968. As is beautifully visible in the images, this Gufram Cactus 1968 has developed a magnificent, authentic patina over the decades. The original flexible coating displays a heavy and characteristic crackle effect and a weathered, almost sculptural texture. For true collectors, this aging is not a defect, but rather the ultimate proof of authenticity, age, and character. An absolute museum piece for the enthusiast who wishes to add a tangible piece of Guido Drocco & Franco Mello design history to their collection.
