Original B&B Italia | Product accompanied by certificate of authenticity
The Serie UP Collection
The UP5_6 Compasso d'Oro Armchair offered in this limited edition is a unique piece with an exclusive upholstery, and belongs to the wider Serie UP 2000 collection by B&B Italia. It is normally available in a selection of ten upholstery options: Lora 102, Lora 150, Lora 153, Lora 207, Lora 700, Soara 150, Soara 170 striped, Soara 420, Soara 505, and Soara 700. The series also includes the UP50, created to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary, dressed for the occasion in a special beige/teal striped fabric; the Junior version, designed for children aged three and above, a perfectly faithful reduced-scale replica of the original; and finally UP7, the celebrated "foot", a sculptural object in lacquered polyurethane that completes the expressive universe of the collection.
Fabric Configurator
Choose your UP Armchair upholstery
The Serie UP5_6 is available in a selection of fabrics and colour variants. Select an upholstery to preview the fabric swatch and the matching armchair.
Salt-and-pepper with a natural character: a fabric with a warm, discreet tone, restrained in colour but rich in texture, suited to any contemporary setting.
Where to Place It
The UP Armchair works in any environment with sufficient visual breathing room around it. In the living room as the absolute protagonist, its sinuous silhouette sets the tone for the entire space without needing any other strong decorative elements. In the entrance hall as the first statement of identity: it is the message a home sends to those who enter. In the bedroom as a reading corner of powerful character. In a hotel lobby, private office, or study, where it communicates design culture and an uncommon aesthetic sensibility.
It requires no studied pairings: it is itself the chromatic and compositional reference point of the room. In a minimalist contemporary living room it emerges as sculpture; in an eclectic space it holds its ground without conflict.
