PUNCH A WALL is a real punching bag, presented as a column of orange bricks. In this piece, Studio Job plays in a unique way with the dichotomy between soft and hard, dream and reality, creating an unpredictable short circuit of perceptions and expectations, and following the limitless experimentation that a material like expanded polyurethane allows.

PUNCH A WALL is a provocation, it encourages you to strike but at the same time stops this impulse. Finished entirely by hand by Gufram artisans, the PUNCH A WALL is made of expanded polyurethane through the use of a mold, and then covered with Guflac® Ultra, the evolution of Guflac®, the special paint invented by Gufram over 50 years ago ago, which makes each piece incredibly durable and weather resistant. Guflac® Ultra is applied entirely by hand, allowing the polyurethane to maintain its elasticity and softness, thus opening to new aesthetic experiments.
