The Up armchair is a bold and iconic design, instantly recognizable for its unique silhouette and symbolic message. Originally created in 1969 by Gaetano Pesce, this piece is inspired by prehistoric votive statues, with its voluptuous form evoking the image of a womb—a metaphor for comfort, protection, and femininity.

Attached to the seat is a spherical pouf, connected by a cord, representing the idea of an obstacle or restraint. This design statement blends social commentary with ergonomic comfort, resulting in an armchair that is both sculptural and deeply meaningful.

The soft, sinuous curves and stretch Soara fabric upholstery in Petrolio color accentuate the chair’s embracing design and emphasize its generous padding.

Features:
– Upholstery: Soara fabric, Petrolio color
– Includes matching spherical pouf
– Dimensions (armchair): 120 x 130 x h 103 cm

The Up armchair remains a timeless icon of radical design, combining striking form with deep conceptual roots, and offering a seating experience that is as comfortable as it is thought-provoking.
