B&B Italia "UP5_6" Lounge Armchair and Stool in Red "Soara" Fabric

B&B Italia “UP5_6 ” Armchair and Footstool in Red "Soara" Fabric

On offer on this occasion is an instantly recognisable icon of 20th-century design — the “UP5_6” Lounge armchair and footstool in Red "Sora" fabric, manufactured by the leading Italian Furniture House, B&B Italia.

As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in these pre-eminent 1969 Gaetano Pesce "Serie Up 2000" creations, "Up" seating is the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, is of peerless quality, and exhibits detailing and execution of the highest standard.

Also known as the Big Mama or Donna Chair, this sculptural pairing is both a design statement and a symbol of modern Italian creativity. Upholstered in its original bold red "Soara" stretch-fabric, the voluptuous curves of the chair and spherical footstool create a visually-striking yet supremely comfortable form.

In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia creates beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. A masterpiece of form and concept, the UP5 remains one of B&B Italia’s most celebrated creations, found in major design museums and collector homes worldwide.

This piece is in superb, original, beautifully-maintained condition, having seen light, regular use in its previous home, and is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Its hugely handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it in the past and, aside from a small number of minor marks, blemishes and imperfections to the fabric of the armchair and stool, is as original and well-presented as you could possibly hope to find.

For the avoidance of doubt, please view the numerous images provided to confirm the superb condition and appearance of this piece. A true classic of modern furniture design.

Whilst clearly not perfect, it is certain to meet the requirements of all but the most particular of buyers and, for someone looking for an armchair of peerless design and execution to position at the heart of their home, it is truly heaven sent! Without question, this superb piece possesses all the beauty and majesty you would expect from one of the most iconic contemporary seating designs ever made.

Dimensions-wise, the measurements of this armchair is H-103cm, W-120cm and D-130cm.
The breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously-upholstered composite back and seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms.

Costing just shy of £5500 when new, it represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come.
