The Gufram Cactus, the subject of various, free and often ambiguous interpretations.
The icon of Italian design that has revolutionized the domestic landscape by subverting the boundaries between interior and open space.
This vintage Cactus comes as an ironic totem, embodying the guts, imagination and humor of 1970s design.
This large cactus, which is likely to attract everyone's attention, frees itself from functionalism at all costs, as it can fulfill its function, but can also be used as a cheerful decorative element. You have freedom of interpretation.
In 1972, the Emerald green design cactus went into production at 2000 copies.
But this one is a first production from 1968, these were made before they went into commercial production in higher numbers.
These first editions in emerald green finish are therefore the most sought after cacti from the Gufram collection and are very popular with international interior architects.
Cactus comes to life thanks to the genius of Guido Drocco and Franco Mello, questioning the static and rigid world of interior design from the start. Made entirely by hand, each piece is unique: the 2165 lugs that characterize the surface are finished one by one by hand.
The Gufram Cactus is included in several museum collections around the world and documented in a number of 20th century decorative arts publications.
