Few design pieces manage to be both playful and iconic, ironic yet timeless. The
Bocca sofa, created in 1970 by
Studio 65 x Gufram, achieved exactly that: transforming a pair of oversized lips into one of the most recognizable emblems of Pop Art and Italian Radical Design. With the
Guframini Bocca, this legendary object is reinterpreted at a 1:8 scale, condensing its sensual curves and cultural symbolism into a collectible format. More than just a reduced version, it is a majestic addition to the
Bocca collection that preserves the same theatrical presence and irresistible charm of the original masterpiece.
Craft in Detail, Colour in Emotion
Made from soft
polyurethane, the
Bocca miniature faithfully replicates every curve, surface, and contour of its full-scale predecessor. Its palette embraces six vibrant tones: red, ivory, blue, green, yellow, and pumpkin; offering a choice between timeless fidelity and playful reinterpretation. Each hand-finished piece carries the same bold spirit of the iconic sofa, turning the miniature into a striking collectible that radiates charm even at its intimate scale.
A Dialogue with Radical Icons
As a protagonist within the
Guframini collection, the
Studio 65 Bocca naturally stands alongside Pratone, Cactus, and Capitello, forming a radical anthology in miniature. It resonates with the theatrical gestures of
Ceretti/Derossi/Rosso x Gufram and complements eclectic expressions such as
Piero Gilardi x Gufram. Whether showcased in a gallery, a design library, or a private cabinet of curiosities,
Bocca in miniature continues the conversation between art and design that has defined Italian Radicalism since the 1970s.
A Symbol That Never Fades
To collect
Gufram's
Guframini Bocca is to hold in one’s hand an icon of desire and provocation. More than a
lips-shaped miniature sofa, it is a cultural statement that transcends time, embodying sensuality, playfulness, and avant-garde experimentation. Fifty years after its birth,
Bocca remains one of the most beloved design objects ever created; now reimagined as a collectible treasure that keeps Radical Italian Design alive for new generations.
