Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Gufram furniture is the work of a group of radical Italian designers who captured the mood of the swinging Sixties with a collection of extraordinary objects. Ceretti, Derossi, Rosso, Drocco and Gilardi, otherwise known as `Studio 65', made unique moulded polyurethane creations painted in latex rubber. Inspired by nature their work was bought as both sculpture and practical pieces of furniture for the home, (depending on your home). Below are eight limited edition examples of their work which will be on exhibition.
The giant lip sofa, right, is bound to raise a few smiles. It costs pounds 3,000.
The only prickly thing about this Cactus coat rack, far right, is the pounds 1,500 price tag.
You wouldn't guess it but the Big Meadow, above right, priced pounds 4,500, is actually a chair. The blades of grass bend with your body, as though you were sitting on a lawn.
Shaped into a marble column the Capitello armchair costs pounds 2,500.
The River Bed is made up of pebble-style pieces which slot together to form a lounging space on the floor.
Then there's the Massolo marble coffee table, priced pounds 1,200.
Blocks of granite and rocks are turned into chairs which cost pounds 650/pounds 750.
