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. With BORING CACTUS®, the brand ironically embraces uniformity, proving that even the mundane can be radical. This reinterpretation challenges the relentless pursuit of the extraordinary, demonstrating that minimalism can be just as provocative.

Handcrafted in Italy, BORING CACTUS® is cast from flexible polyurethane using the original 1972 mold. 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. Whether placed in a contemporary office, a minimalist home, or an eclectic space, its subdued gray tone allows it to integrate effortlessly while still making a subtle yet sophisticated impact.
