Gufram Pratone 1971
About the Item
A unique and unconventional Chaise longue that has as yet found no ersatz, Pratone has become a reference parameter in the history of design. Included by Vitra Design Museum among the 100 masterpieces of the history of Design, it is an object "outside the box" which maintains its artisanal soul: as a matter of fact, each of the 42 long and soft blades of grass you can sink into is worked and finished by hand, just like the label Pratone, engraved on the base of each module. Its bright green and the softness of its blades of grass are achieved through painting with Guflac, the special and unique paint patented by Gufram that makes it possible to make polyurethane look like leather while maintaining its flexibility and softness.
TECHNICAL INFO
Settee in soft polyurethane finished by hand with Guflac.
DID YOU KNOW
1. Designed in 1966 as an ironic reinterpretation of the traditional sitting room settees.
2. It is a unique type of seat that has as yet found no ersatz.
3. It is entirely assembled and finished by hand.
4. It is made of 42 soft blades of grass.
5. To make one Pratone 5 weeks are necessary.
6. To preserve its authenticity, the label “Pratone” is still engraved by hand.
7. It is on the cover of the catalogue of the epic exhibit Italy: The New Domestic Landscape at MoMA in New York in 1972.
8. It was on display in some of the most important museums of the world like the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
9. On the occasion of Gufram's 50th birthday Pratone froze, and so Nordic Pratone was born in a total white version.
La collection Iconical présente les pièces qui interprètent et maintiennent vivant et palpitant l'esprit désacralisant du design radical. Il s'agit de chefs-d'œuvre du design italien qui sont déjà entrés dans l'imaginaire collectif, ainsi que de nouvelles sculptures domestiques qui, du point de vue du langage et de l'identité, présentent des affinités électives avec les produits exposés dans les musées les plus importants du monde. Ces pièces de design d'intérieur - réalisées exclusivement à la main - représentent la rencontre magique entre l'art et le design qui fait partie de l'ADN de Gufram.
