Gufram, the Italian design house renowned for its avant-garde creations, unveils BORING CACTUS® - a reimagining of its iconic 1972 CACTUS® by Guido Drocco and Franco Mello. Stripped of its signature vibrant hues, this edition adopts a muted gray tone, embracing the monotony of everyday life while remaining a striking statement in design.For decades, Gufram has defied conventional industrial design with playful, boundary-pushing pieces.

At 170 cm tall, it retains its unmistakable silhouette, featuring four cantilevered arms and 2,165 hand-finished nodules. Coated in Guflac®, Gufram’s proprietary finish, it offers a resilient yet soft-touch surface, ensuring both durability and sculptural elegance.Beyond its artistic appeal, BORING CACTUS® remains a fully functional coat rack, seamlessly fitting into various interiors.
