Sassi pouf by Gufram
Description:
Sassi is Gufram’s first project to play on the juxtaposition of the concepts of light, heavy and natural, artificial.
The stones, artificially natural, are an oxymoron, a vision of design that demolishes and subverts the proven parameters of tactile and visual perception. Same skin, same volume, same shades, same roughness, same external layer of natural stones, but different substance and weight, which transform them into harmless boulders; freed from gravity and light, they rise to new life.
In the scenography of the living space they become a soft seating system – an innocent deception, between reality and fiction. The very meaning of the product is multiplied and strengthened exponentially by addition and accumulation.
Design by Piero Gilardi 1968
