GUFRAM Guframini Pratone

Guframini from the Italian brand Gufram. Gufram's iconic designs have become much smaller, introducing miniature versions of their popular sculptures to fans. The processes involved in the creation of Guframinis involve making precise moulds that capture the original objects exactly to a scale of 1:8 and creating each unique piece with injection moulding of polyurethane foam. To achieve the same softness, colours and detail as the originals, each Guframinis is hand-finished by hand using a state-of-the-art method.

Mini Pratone is based on the giant Pratone designed by Ceretti, Derossi and Rosso in 1972. It was shown at MoMA as part of Italy: The New Domestic Landscape that same year. Like the original, it has "Pratone" written on one side and 42 stems extending in different directions. This creates an iconic and radical look for a small sculpture.
