Italian Big Mama Up Chair & Ottoman attributed to Gaetano Pesce for B&B Italia, 2000, Set of 2

It was 1968 when gaetano pesce began experimenting at his paris atelier with vacuum-packing the hippest material of the moment: polyurethane. Soon he’d developed a gravity-defying model: a four-inch-thick disk that, when removed from its pvc envelope, would rise from the floor into a cushy armchair. Fittingly, he named it up. The form that emerged was no typical seat. Its bulbous shape, inspired by silhouettes of ancient fertility goddesses and accompanied by an ottoman, was rife with meaning. Condition in good condition - some wear and tear to the seating area, lacking elasticated string that connects the chair to the ottoman. Overall condition consistent with normal use, please refer to photographs.
