B&B Italia Dark Gray Fabric Armchair

Product details

Seller's Notes:B&B Italia Armchair and ottoman - Graphite jersey Gaetano Pesce, 2000 Designed in 1969, right from the onset the UP series has been one of the most outstanding expressions of design with its expressive shapes upholstered with elastic fabric. This innovative solution, poised midway between design and art, and conceived to be offered to a wide audience, stems from B&B Italia’s extensive technological know-how in terms of polyurethane injection moulding. Particularly noteworthy among the armchairs is the iconic UP5_6, with its unmistakeable anthropomorphic references: a metaphor of a large womb, it calls to mind ancient statues of the goddesses of fertility. But that’s not all: a spherical ottoman tied to the armchair contrasts the image of comfort and convenience with a more figurative one of a woman with a ball and chain tied to her foot.

Designed in 1969, from the onset the up series has been one of the most outstanding expressions of design with its expressive shapes upholstered with elastic fabric. The seven items that form it include the armchair and pouf up5-up6, icon of modernity, metaphor of the female figure that is endowed with a comfortable womb and is yet a prisoner. And again, the “foot” up7, object-sculpture, out of scale archaeological fragment, redesigned with modern technology.
