Designed by: Gaetano Pesce
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 molding. Particularly noteworthy among the armchairs is the iconic UP5_6, with its un-mistakeable 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. Manufactured by B&B Italia.
The Serie UP 2000 lounge chair is available through our Quickship Program in a Lora Black fabric. Please contact Switch Modern at 404-605-0196 or info@switchmodern.com to check current availability.
