The Up series was designed in 1969 by Gaetano Pesce and it immediately became one of the most famous symbols of design thanks to its expressive shapes covered in stretch fabric. The UP5_6 armchair is the most iconic product of the series and it is characterized by unmistakable anthropomorphic references: it is in fact a large maternal womb that recalls the votive statues of the prehistoric goddesses of fertility, but with one more element: a sphere that acts as a pouf tied to the body of the armchair. The more figurative image of the woman with the ball and chain is superimposed on the image of convenience and comfort.
