BOCCA®, 1970
- Description
-
Read our lips: the BOCCA® sofa says it all. This unforgettable sofa has influenced the zeitgeist more than nearly any other piece of furniture ever created. The BOCCA®’s unique shape, an almost imperceptibly asymmetrical pair of lips, is both playful and provocative, inviting a closer look with a delightful level of sensuality and physicality.
The cultural influence of the BOCCA® sofa is undeniable. Drawing inspiration from Salvador Dalì’s 1935 Portrait of actor Mae West, Studio 65 architects achieved a masterpiece destined to become a cult favorite. The sofa's playful form and bold colors reflect both the impact of surrealism and the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, while maintaining a timeless sense of personality and versatility that make it one of Gufram’s most popular pieces to this day. Expertly crafted using traditional Italian craftsmanship techniques, the BOCCA® is carefully shaped by skilled artisans to achieve the perfect balance between comfort and style. Originally crafted in brilliant red fabric, the BOCCA® is now available in special limited edition colorways and styles: the poppy PINK LADY, mysterious DARK LADY, and luxurious gold BOCCADORO.
Among Gufram’s most well-known pieces, it has been portrayed by world-renowned photographers such as David La Chapelle and Richard Avedon and has been graced by the likes of Marisa Berenson, Heidi Klum, Anne Hathaway, and Sharon Stone, and has even taken center stage as the centerpiece on the world tour sets of Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue and Katy Perry.
The enduring appeal of the BOCCA® lies in its elegant simplicity, at home in the permanent collections of the Fondation Louis Vuitton and Centre George Pompidou in Paris and the Design Museum in London. The power of a maximal pair of lips—now available in 25 colorways with the BOCCA® Unlimited, a beautiful new iteration of the classic sofa clothed in a new luxurious matte bouclé wool texture and signature matte texture—invokes flirtatious energy and personality in any space. An enduring symbol of Italian Radical Design and an exquisite favorite of design enthusiasts and collectors around the world, the BOCCA® continues to invite us closer, again and again and again.
