Gufram Cactus Coat Stand
Conceived in 1972 by Italian designers Guido Drocco and Franco Mello, the Gufram Cactus redefined utilitarian housewares by turning a functional coat rack into a towering piece of Pop Art. Standing nearly five and a half feet tall, this iconic Italian Radical Design sculpture brings the desert outdoors inside without requiring any watering.
