B&B Italia Up Armchair Outlet Price
Up by B&B Italia is the armchair designed by Gaetano Pesce in 1969. It recently turned 50 and is, in all respects, an icon of Italian design worldwide. The Up series is not just an armchair; it is a sensory experience that will make you smile every time you look at it. Perfect for the living room, bedroom, or office, it will add a touch of originality and personality to any environment. The Up armchair recalls the characteristics and anatomical forms of women; in fact, it is an armchair that is a large maternal womb. The seat is generous, welcoming, and comfortable. The accompanying pouf has the shape of a spherical ball and is attached to the armchair with a chain like a ball and chain of a prisoner. Gaetano Pesce himself, referring to this concept, states: "Woman has always been, against her will, a prisoner of herself." There is this dichotomy when looking at the Up armchair by B&B Italia, namely the image of comfort and convenience that overlaps with the more figurative one of the woman with the ball and chain. Gaetano Pesce describes the project as follows: "At that moment, I was telling a personal story about my concept of women... So I liked the idea of giving this armchair the shape of a woman with a ball and chain, which also constitutes the traditional image of the prisoner." Over the years, the UP5_6 armchair has become a true international design icon, taking on various names, from "Big Mama" to "Blow Up," becoming the object of desire for a vast audience and still furnishing the most beautiful homes in Italy and around the world.
