Gufram, Red Detecma Lounge Chair by Tullio Regge

About the Item

Its name, an acronym for design, Technique and Mathematics, identifies by itself some of the characteristics that make this seat unique. These three values were united for the first time in 1967, the year when the Physicist Professor Tullio Regge, renown as one of the most influential scientific thinkers of the XX century, transformed a mathematical quartic function into a volume with intentionally ergonomic characteristics. It was an epic event to which Gufram decided to pay tribute by putting again into production a seat, which has revolutionized the history of design through its planning approach. Detecma was the first decor item to be designed using an electronic calculator, and its shape stems from a parametric “open source” mathematical formula taken from the Dupin cyclide. The result is an organic and ergonomic shape made of soft polyurethane, a recliner that breaks free from the models of the category and denies any formal definition; a recliner sitting on the floor, part pouf, part chaise longue, that gives life to a precursory image of a way of seeing living, as well as an interior design project that would become a mass phenomenon only a few decades later. Its gradient colours cover the entire chromatic spectrum in an explosive celebration of full tones and perfectly blended nuances. Six versions that, put together, return all the tones in the world. And, in order to apply such colourful quantity and accuracy on an object, Gufram commits to the textile print high tech provided by Sublitex of the Miroglio Group, one of the best structured and cutting edge Italian companies in the international field of textile manufacturing. Detecma is a recliner and a pouf, a seat and a decor item stemming from the Sixties and at the same contemporary and cutting-edge.
