Gufram Guframini Pratone miniature

In 1971, Giorgio Ceretti, Piero Derossi & Riccardo Rosso created one of the most unconventional pieces of Italian Radical Design: the Pratone. Its oversized blades of grass transformed seating into a surreal and playful landscape, forever altering the idea of what furniture could be. Decades later, the Guframini Pratone allows this vision to be experienced in miniature form. Crafted at a 1:8 scale, the collectible edition condenses the humor, irony, and creativity of the original into a version that fits into the palm of your hand or the shelf of a collector. It is proof that radical ideas lose none of their power when scaled down they become more accessible, without ever becoming less extraordinary.

Attention to Detail

Each Guframini Pratone is made of soft polyurethane, carefully finished to replicate the sculptural quality of the original. The vivid green surface mimics the grassy illusion that defined the full-size version, while its proportions are preserved with striking accuracy. Despite its reduced scale, the miniature captures the same surreal energy: what looks like grass is actually foam, what seems playful is also conceptual. Every detail, from the curve of the “blades” to the balance of volume, reflects the craftsmanship and imagination that Gufram continues to bring to its icons.

A Collector’s Perspective

The mini Pratone is part of the wider Guframini collection, which transforms the brand’s most famous works into collectible design sculptures. It can be displayed alongside icons by Ceretti/Derossi/Rosso x Gufram or combined with eclectic pieces from the Cattelan & Ferrari collection for Gufram or other Gufram interior decor products. As part of a collection, it serves as both a decorative piece and a fragment of history, encapsulating the radical experiments of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Symbolic Legacy

To own the Guframini Pratone is to hold a miniature of one of Radical Design’s most powerful provocations. It is not just a scale model but a symbolic bridge between art, design, and collectible culture. For design enthusiasts, it offers a tangible connection to the era when Italian designers dared to transform everyday life into surreal experiences. More than an object, it is a story condensed into form: the dream of lying in a field of giant grass, now reinterpreted in a collectible that continues to amuse, surprise, and inspire across generations.
