MAgriTTA is designed by Sebastián Matta for Gufram with ABS frame and soft polyurethane foam and upholstered with elastic cloth and bouclé wool.
MAgriTTA is a sculpture-armchair, homage to Surrealism. The green apple and the black bowler hat, recurrent figurative elements in the works of René Magritte, are assembled by the visionary imagination of Sebastián Matta into a new seat, realized in polyurethane foam and upholstered with bouclé wool. In addition to the classic version with green upholstery, Gufram also colors MAgriTTA in yellow and red, adding MAgriTTA Rouge and MAgriTTA Jaune to the catalogue.
Playing with the unexpected association – an apple in a hat? Matta is able to translate the deception, the joke and the illusion of Magritte's works into a design object.
The name MagriTTA – written with the distinctive use of upper and lower case letters, combines the surnames Matta and Magritte, thus amplifying the homage of a great artist to another great artist. Through the re-edition of MagriTTA Gufram continues its path to valorisation and reclamation of international radical design icons, thus positioning itself at the centre of the rediscovery of this essential movement for the history of industrial design.
Chilean architect, painter and designer Matta was the protagonist of the most important artistic movements of the XX century.
