Created by Italian designers Guido Drocco and Franco Mello in 1972, Gufram's Cactus is now considered a true work of contemporary art, an ornamental object capable of capturing the viewer's attention with personality. As part of the celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Gufram project was devised, a double homage to the iconic object and to the artist who characterised the last century, with his non-conformist style, far from all cultural and social conventions.
Andy's Blue Cactus, Andy's Pink Cactus and Andy's Yellow Cactus are the perfect translation of Andy Warhol's prints, with their gritty and timeless design. A tribute to those who have had the courage and intrepidity to assert themselves, and an encouragement to new artists, spurring them on to break all kinds of boundaries and limits.
Made from the original 1972 mould, each cactus is sculpted and finished by hand by skilled craftsmen, making each piece unique. The 2,165 polyurethane studs that characterise the surface are then painted with Guflac, Gufram’s patented paint that makes the surface look like leather, while still allowing it to remain flexible and soft.
