The UP5_6 Armchair with Ottoman by B&B Italia, designed by Gaetano Pesce in 1969 is a striking blend of art and furniture, offering not only exceptional comfort but also a profound commentary on social themes. Upholstered in elastic fabric, the armchair's unique shape is instantly recognizable, evoking anthropomorphic references that metaphorically recall ancient fertility goddesses. The UP5 armchair, often described as a large, enveloping womb, creates a sense of security and comfort through its bold curves and generous proportions. Accompanying this is the spherical UP6 ottoman, which, when tethered to the armchair, conjures a more figurative image: a subtle yet powerful commentary on femininity, with the ottoman symbolizing a ball and chain. This armchair is not just a piece of furniture but a conversation piece, making it a timeless addition to any interior space. Perfect for those who appreciate design that merges comfort with deeper cultural and artistic references, the UP5_6 remains a celebrated icon of modern furniture design.

Two of the earliest are injection moulding and cold polyurethane technology, which immediately made the brand’s furniture a symbol of modernity. Today, the future for B&B Italia means thinking about the customer’s comfort and lasting well-being. The result is contemporary furniture that combines design and solidity
