The new limited edition of ANDY’S CACTUS®, featuring 99 pieces in each variant, renews the dialogue between Gufram’s provocative spirit and the irreverent aesthetic that has defined CACTUS® its inception. This collaboration celebrates creative freedom, unconventional thinking, and the challenge to subvert traditional design.
Created in 1972 by Guido Drocco and Franco Mello, CACTUS® is far more than just a coat rack — it’s a domestic sculpture that reimagines a functional object as a timeless and irreverent design icon. By deliberately rejecting the bourgeois conventions of modern furniture, it replaces rationality with irony, and utility with concept: a perfect match with Andy Warhol’s style and iconography.
Inspired by colors and aesthetics of Warhol’s last fright wig self-portrait silkscreen paintings in 1986, with ANDY’S GREEN CACTUS®, ANDY’S ORANGE CACTUS®, and ANDY’S WHITE CACTUS®, Gufram reasserts its position as an editor of visionary objects – where art, irony, and experimentation merge.
These three new colors are more than just decorative variations; they serve as visual nods to the language of Warholian pop art, enhancing the expressive impact of ANDY’S CACTUS® and strengthening its iconic status.
