The role of the home and the ‘home of the future’ has long intrigued designers, architects, manufacturers and popular culture alike. Throughout the twentieth century, the home was a place of social and technological change. It was also a testing ground, where architects, designers and manufacturers imagined new ways of living. Many of those visions anticipated how we live today, even if the way in which they were depicted might appear fantastical to us today. ”Home Futures – Glorious future!” explores how some of these radical ideas and visions are reflected in our homes today.
Gufram could not be missing, presenting some of its interior design icons such as Bocca, the original 1970 lips-shaped couch conceived by Studio65; La Cova, a human-size nest, 1972 masterpiece by Gianni Ruffi; Another Green, a tribute to the original edition of Cactus designed by Guido Drocco & Franco Mello in 1972; and Pratone the unconventional chaise longue by Ceretti, Derossi & Rosso (1971).
