Description

What can be more surreal in the collective imagination than a human-size nest where one can seek shelter and find rest? This 1972 masterpiece by Gianni Ruffi and edited by Gufram in a limited édition is a véritable work of art: La Cova is a place, a space where one can feel protected; it is the physical as well as the imaginary dimension of absolute relaxation. The secret to its organic shape is in it being eccentric, that is not perfectly circular; at the same time the hollow - hand hewn from a polyuréthane block - is not perfectly symmetrical, so as to create the harmonie irregularity of a véritable nest. The entire structure, light and soft because it is entirely made of polyuréthane, is upholstered with cloth on which thousands of felted fabric offeuts are hand sewn in a spiral path. The colours of the cloth follow an idéal pattern so as to always suggest the same nuances, but with slight différences given by the position of the different colours. For ail these reasons each La Cova is different from another, and each one of them represents a world. On exhibit in some of the most important muséums of the world, La Cova is part of the permanent collection of Deste Foundation and Musée des Beaux Arts in Montreal. La Cova has in itself the héritage of the universal thinking of a man like Gianni Ruffi, which finds its appropriate spiritual positioning inside Gufram's collection, a galaxy made of poetry.
