Serie Up 2000 Lounge Chair Ottoman — Soara Red

The Up 5_6 Lounge chair and ottoman in Soara Red fabric is part of a series of lounge chairs, a sofa, and an ottoman designed by Gaetano Pesce in 1969. The Up 5 Lounge Chair is the most iconic piece from the collec­tion. The shape is a sensu­ously curved form to which its compan­ion, the Up 6 Ottoman, is teth­ered. Pesce once described the chair as a female figure tied to a ball-shaped ottoman, symbol­iz­ing the shack­les that keep women subjugated. 

The Up 5 and Up 6 are composed of Bayfit (Bayer) flex­i­ble cold-shaped polyurethane foam and are avail­able with black, red, blue, dark green, orange/​beige, and the 50th-anniver­sary petrol green/​beige striped jersey uphol­stery covers. The unseen under­side uphol­stery is 100% jute.
