Product description
This iconic UP5_6 armchair from the UP 2000 series, designed by Gaetano Pesce and re-released by B&B Italia in 2000, is a true design statement and a must-have for lovers of vintage and modernist furniture. Known as the "Big Mama Chair" or "La Mamma," this piece stands out for its organic, sculptural form that seamlessly combines comfort and aesthetics. The accompanying ball, connected by a cord, enhances its uniqueness and completes the design.
This version belongs to the UP 2000 series, which means it is a high-quality reissue of the original 1969 design. Unlike the first versions, which used self-expanding polyurethane foam, this version is made of molded cold foam, which provides extra durability and improved seating comfort. The upholstery in stylish black gives the armchair a timeless and luxurious look, while the modern manufacturing process ensures longer life.
The combination of playful curves, avant-garde design and deeper symbolic meaning makes this armchair not only an eye-catcher in any interior, but also a valuable collector's item for design enthusiasts.
This particular chair has some expert repairs to the upholstery, carefully done by an experienced upholsterer. As a result, the piece of furniture retains its original appearance and is in excellent condition for years of enjoyment.
