When design meets art.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic 'Cactus' coatstand, produced by Gufram, the company has collaborated with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and created a limited edition version, inspired by the legendardy pop art of Andy Warhol, transforming his iconic silkscreen technique into three dimensions, using typically Warhol colours, highlighting the tips in black.
The collaboration between Gufram and Andy Warhol is the transcription of the greatest pop artist’s vision into one of the most eccentric design icons of all time. A non-conformist who defied convention and forged his own pathway, the artist used the language of popular culture to transcend common ideas into sophisticated concepts - an ethos that is very much reflected in Gufram’s work.
ANDY’S BLUE CACTUS, ANDY’S PINK CACTUS and ANDY’S YELLOW CACTUS, each produced in a limited edition of 99 pieces, are the perfect translation of Andy Warhol’s prints into prickly design multiples.
Just like the other CACTUS versions, the ANDY WARHOL x GUFRAM edition, is made from the original 1972 mould, and sculpted and hand finished by specialised artisans, making each piece unique. The 2,165 polyurethane 'bosses' (give or take a few) 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.
