Presented on the 50 year anniversary of the world-recognised hall tree, the Andy Warhol x Gufram Cctus edition is made from the original 1972 mould, sculpted and hand finished by specialised artisans. The 2,165 polyurethane bosses that characterise the surface are then painted with Guflac, Gufram’s patented paint that makes the surface look like leather, while still allowing it to remain flexible and soft.
