Cactus coat anger by Guido Drocco and Franco Mello for Gufram 1972
About the Item
The Cactus coat anger was designed by Guido Drocco and Franco Mello for Gufram, an Italian manufacturer in the early 70’s. Its design is part of the «Ra-
dical Design» movement, in the early 60’s in Italy, freeing itself from the rules of modernism that were too strict by inventing objects or structures with no
limits or codes. This iconic piece are still produced to this day, with a variation of colors and style according to the trends of the moment, with several special
editions in collaboration with different artists. Its structure is composed of sculpted polyurethane foam, giving a honeycomb appearance and covered with
Guflac. The paint makes the surfaces more uniform and elastic. It is in good condition, some flaws are to be noted, it has several chips on the branches and
the paint is peeling in some places. The base also begins to crumble.
Guflac paint: this elastic and ultra-resistant coating was patented in 1966 by Piero Gilardi. It is made of a natural base to which the desired color is added.
Its complete recipe is kept secret by Gufram.
