Founded in Turin in 1966 and now part of Sandra and Charley Vezza’s Italian Radical Design group, Gufram was originally born as an artisanal entity and is now globally known for pushing the limits of industrial design. With its Radical Design spirit and its nonconformist experimentation linked to aesthetics, and technological and material research, over the years Gufram has created playful, subversive and desecrating pieces. Design icons that have become unique in form and value because of the cross-contamination between industrial design, artisanal creation, and imaginative flair, typical of art.The brand’s research commitment has driven the company to master the treatment of flexible polyurethane and to the development of Guflac®, a special finish patented by Gufram to have more uniform, cohesive and elastic surfaces through accurate and meticulous craftsmanship processes.Gufram’s unmistakable furniture items, such as the BOCCA® lips sofa, the PRATONE® chaise lounge and the CACTUS® hall tree, also known as domestic sculptures, represent an interpretation of the contact point between art and design, and are now displayed in some of the most beautiful houses and most renown museums worldwide.

Fondata a Torino nel 1966 e ora parte del gruppo Italian Radical Design di Sandra e Charley Vezza, Gufram è nata come realtà artigianale ed è ora riconosciuta in tutto il mondo per essersi spinta ai limiti del design industriale. Con lo spirito Radical Design e le sperimentazioni controcorrente legate alla ricerca estetica, tecnologica e di materiale, negli anni Gufram ha creato prodotti ludici, sovversivi e dissacranti. Icone del design che hanno preso forma e valore grazie alla contaminazione tra l’approccio progettuale industriale, la realizzazione artigianale e l’estro creativo proprio dell’arte.L’impegno nella ricerca e nell’innovazione ha spinto il marchio a padroneggiare il trattamento del poliuretano flessibile e a sviluppare Guflac®, una speciale verniciatura che rende le superfici uniformi, unite ed elastiche attraverso un lavoro manuale accurato e meticoloso.Gli inconfondibili arredi di Gufram, come il divano BOCCA®, la chaise longue PRATONE® e l’appendiabiti CACTUS®, definiti anche sculture domestiche, rappresentano la contaminazione tra arte e design e sono ora presenti in alcune delle case più belle e dei musei più importanti nel mondo.
