Alvar Gufram Chaise Longue

Sitting on the floor, but ready to be moved to another place, Alvar is a recliner made of structural polyurethane foam that retains the lightness and versatility of the sixties. After forty years, it has certainly matured in spirit, but deep down its soul keeps its hippie attitude alive. At the time, it believed that the future lay in the innovation of polyester threads, but it did not want to abandon its belief in natural fabrics. This utopia has become a reality thanks to today's fabrics.

Conceived in the years of radical design, Alvar is one of the first products with which Gufram faced the challenge of producing modern furniture against the status quo of mannerist style. Alvar is proof of the success of this confrontation that began in 1968 and which ended up favouring products such as these, which were already dynamic and fresh and had organic lines, free of the expected embellishments.

Gufram is an Italian interior design brand known worldwide for pushing the boundaries of industrial design. With its Radical Design spirit and non-conformist experimentation linked to aesthetic, technological and material research, Gufram has created seating and interior design icons that have entered the collective imagination: playful, subversive and desacralising products with a POP soul, deliberately conceived as anti-design items.
