UP5_6, an unrivalled icon of Italian design on the international stage, now presented in an unusual version designed for children aged over 3 years: UPJ.‎ The new Junior version, which is identical to the original except for being smaller in size, is proposed as a design armchair both comfortable and playful; its attractive shape and its bright red colour will tastefully furnish and enhance spaces dedicated to children and even compact metropolitan apartments.‎ UPJ, the latest “must” for all those who will not give up a seat - even a small one - that has a place in design history.‎ Technical information - Upholstery Bayfit® flexible cold shaped polyurethane foam - Bottom base 100% jute fabric, PVC trimming - Cover button metallic base and fabric - Bottom base button thick leather - Chain plastic material - Cover fabric in limited categories ATTENTION The product is not suitable for children under 36 months B&B Italia has an extensive amount of technological know-how (the technology of polyurethane injection moulding, for example) and it uses this information to build its company.‎ Now, it has decided to give the creation of Mr.‎ Pesce, the UP series, the most appropriate language to express this technology, and also to turn it into a fragment of contemporary art to offer to a vast public.‎ In 1969, a series of sofas and armchairs called “Serie UP” came out, a total of seven pieces.‎ They were ahead of the times for the project that generated them, and also for the technical procedures used to make them.‎ Designed in 1969, from the onset the Up series has been one of the most outstanding expressions of design with its expressive shapes upholstered with elastic fabric.‎ The seven items that form it include the armchair and pouf UP5-UP6, icon of modernity, metaphor of the female figure that is endowed with a comfortable womb and is yet a prisoner.‎ And again, the “foot” UP7, bject-sculpture, out of scale archaeological fragment, redesigned with modern technology.‎
