A true icon of Radical design, Guido Drocco and Franco Mello’s Cactus sculptural coat rack resulted from a collaboration with Piero Gilari. Gilardi was adept at creating Pop Art versions of natural forms out of polyurethane foam. Drocco and Mello adapted the prototype created with Gilardi, transforming it into one of Gufram’s most successful and iconic pieces.
