Capitello seat by Gufram

What happens if a Majestic Greek column falls down and breaks into several pieces? The answer is obvious: it is transformed into a Gufram lounge. The remains are in fact contemporary archaeological finds, that give life to a modular system of seats – of neoclassical taste and Pop attitude – that can exist as single elements or be combined one with the other. This architectural archetype, produced in polyurethane, becomes in this way a series of objects of industrial design of smooth texture and cosy ergonomics.

The Ionic volute, which is the upper part of the column and was not by chance called Capitello, becomes a luxurious chaise longue.
