Magritta Armchair
Gufram’s MAgriTTA armchair by Roberto Matta combines an upturned black bowler hat with an oversized apple-shaped seat.
Soft polyurethane and bouclé wool upholstery give the surreal composition its furniture function. The original green apple is joined by yellow MAgriTTA Jaune and red MAgriTTA Rouge versions, each preserving the tilted silhouette and the reference to René Magritte’s imagery.

Boucle wool covers the bowler-hat silhouette and its apple-shaped seat.
Magritta is an armchair shaped as an upturned bowler hat containing an oversized apple-like seat.
Soft polyurethane creates the tilted composition beneath boucle wool upholstery. The hand-built design by Roberto Matta uses two recurring images from René Magritte’s paintings. Three versions retain the same form with different surface colors, turning the familiar objects into a freestanding chair.
