About

A square meter of English-style lawn comes into your house and becomes an armchair with a decidedly English taste in a pop key. Wimbledon recalls the most classical atmosphere of British decor with a contemporary and amusing twist, which is as unexpected and "out-of-the-box" as it is typical Gufram. Already with its name does this armchair state its intentions: the seat is covered with soft green cloth that recalls the lawn of the most famous tennis court in the world; on the seat is a sinuous and ergonomic backrest covered with floral cloth, like those that characterize the sitting rooms of the English countryside. What is particular about this backrest is that it has a handle, so that it can be moved freely in different positions; moreover it has no constraint because it is attached to the seat through a brush that creates friction so as to tightly anchor the two elements. Wimbledon is a small modular and adaptable couch, a decor which is an ironic and hyperbolic statement, and is at the same time ergonomic and comfortable; it is the revolutionary reinterpretation of the most bourgeois English establishment.

About The Maker

Gufram

Gufram is an Italian design brand globally known for pushing the limits of industrial design. With its Radical Design spirit and its nonconformist experimentation linked to aesthetic, technological and material research, Gufram has created design icons that have entered collective imagination: playful, subversive and desecrating products with a POP soul, willingly designed as anti-design items. Gufram was born in Turin as an artisanal entity, where the craftsmen specialized in upholstery, cabinet making and furniture padding met the artistic and international avant-garde with the goal to give birth to a new way of understanding modern furniture. Since 1966 Gufram has been producing design icons that have become unique in form and value thanks to the cross-contamination between the industrial design approach, the artisanal creation and the imaginative flair typical of ART. Gufram’s unmistakable furniture items like the lips-shaped couch Bocca, the chaise lounge Pratone and the hall tree Cactus, also known as Domestic Sculptures able to interpret the contact point between both the artistic and the design worlds, are now displayed in the most beautiful houses and in the most renowned museums in the world.
