A design by Gaetano Pesce, Series UP 2000 armchair and ottoman in beige & orange jersey, manufactured by B&B Italia. 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. This chair has an unmistakable anthropomorphic reference: 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.

Very Good. The chair and ottoman are in near new condition. One small mark is present on the ottoman.
