An icon of Italian design in the world

The Up armchair was designed by Gaetano Pesce and remains one of the most sought-after design armchairs by design enthusiasts

The UP series of armchairs were originally produced by the Italian company Cassina & Busnelli (later to become B&B Italia) and represent a significant example of the Radical Design movement of the 1960s. With this collection of furniture, Pesce sought to interpret the new needs and lifestyles of society in an original way, creating design elements that influenced the cultural context in which they were placed. The UP5 and UP6 are among the most iconic elements of the collection, these designer armchairs have a shape reminiscent of the womb and votive statues of fertility goddesses. The UP series was produced between 1969 and 1973, was highly successful and recognised as an icon of Italian design. B&B Italia has reissued the collection since 2000 and every year new special editions of the armchairs are created, reinterpreting and updating the meaning for our time.
