Studio 65

Bocca sofa, by Studio 65 for Gufram, 1970 A pair of giant red lips you can sit in, and the most instantly recognized sofa of the pop era. Many people know it as the Marilyn, after Monroe, and it takes its cue from the red lips sofa Salvador Dalí made from Mae West's mouth. Gufram has made it since 1970, still from the original mold for the classic red version. Be honest about what it is for: a statement in a hallway, studio or playroom, not a sofa for daily family life. The molded shape decides how you sit and gives nowhere to stretch out. Bought as the room's talking point, with a proper sofa elsewhere, it earns its place; bought as the only sofa, it is likely to disappoint.
