LIMITED EDITION
In the collective imagination, what could be more Pop and surreal than a human-sized nest in which to take refuge and find rest? This masterpiece by Gianni Ruffi from 1972, produced by Gufram in a limited edition, is not just a piece of furniture, but much more than a work of art: the Cova is a place, a protected space. The Cova is a timeless alcove.
Cova is the timeless alcove that proves there are no barriers that can stop dreams, a daily poem to be lived. The two-meter diameter is just a number because, once inside, the space becomes equal to infinity. The Cova is the legacy of the universal thought of a single man like Gianni Ruffi, which finds its proper place in the spiritual Gufram collection, a galaxy of poetry.
