Andy's Cactus coat hanger is designed by Guido Drocco and Franco Mello for Gufram to homage Andy Warhol; structure in soft polyurethane finished by hand with Guflac in blue, pink, yellow color.
This is a new limited editions of iconic Gufram's CACTUS® in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation of Visual Arts: it is the transcription of the greatest pop artist’s vision into one of the most eccentric design icons of all time. 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.
“The collaboration between Gufram and Andy Warhol feels so right that it’s almost absurd that it has never happened before! Finally the pop art genius encountered CACTUS®, the most pop design icon” states Charley Vezza of Gufram. “We started off imagining how Warhol could have depicted the CACTUS® and then we created the 3D version by working with a trio of typically Warhol colors and highlighting their tips with black, just as in one of the artist’s screenprints. Three different CACTUS® were born, each completely finished by hand by Gufram’s artisans, thus making every piece unique. The more I look at them the more I imagine Andy entering the Gufram lab in 1970s Turin and exiting with a product just like this one… or maybe not!”
This limited editions is going to be presented on the 50 year anniversary of the world-recognised hall tree, during the next Milan Design Week, from Friday, June 3rd to Sunday, June 12th; La Triennale di Milano will host the celebrative exhibition “50 Years of Being a Cactus” dedicated to the three new editions of CACTUS®.
