The UP1 Armchair, designed by Gaetano Pesce in 1969 for B&B Italia, represents one of the most significant design icons of the 20th century. This armchair is part of the celebrated UP Series, which revolutionized the concept of seating with its innovative design and its manufacture with state-of-the-art materials. Made of polyurethane foam, UP1 features an organic, enveloping shape that offers exceptional comfort. Its soft, sinuous, embrace-like silhouette reflects Pesce’s intent to create a seat that was not only functional, but also expressive and engaging. The design of the UP1 Armchair was influenced by the ideas of freedom and fluidity typical of the 1960s. Its structure without rigid supports allows it to adapt naturally to the body, providing a unique and comfortable seating experience. This piece is a perfect example of how art and design can merge to create everyday objects that are also works of art. The armchair has become a symbol of radical Italian design and continues to be appreciated for its bold aesthetics and functionality.<\/p>\n

The fabric has some holes due to time and use as documented in photos.<\/span><\/p>\n
