This is one of the most recognized and provocative designs in postmodern Italian furniture history, widely exhibited in major international museums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"962\"\u003eThe design is conceived as a sculptural representation of the female body, combining bold form with conceptual meaning. The accompanying spherical ottoman (UP6) is often interpreted as a symbolic element tied to the chair’s narrative, reinforcing Pesce’s intention to challenge social and cultural norms through design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1304\"\u003eBoth pieces are made from flexible cold-foamed polyurethane and fully upholstered in striped jersey textile. The base is finished in jute fabric, maintaining the raw material contrast that defines the UP series. The result is a piece that sits between furniture and art object, maintaining both visual impact and functional seating comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1494\"\u003eHeight is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e40.2 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, width around \u003cstrong\u003e47.2 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, and depth approximately \u003cstrong\u003e51.2 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e. Seat height is approximately 26.4 inches. Ottoman diameter is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e22.4 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1657\"\u003eCondition is good used vintage. The set shows minor wear and light staining consistent with age and use. Overall it presents well and remains structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1808\"\u003eWhat works well here is the strong sculptural presence combined with its conceptual narrative, making it both a seating piece and a statement object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"2000\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAs with all vintage pieces, signs of use are part of the story. Colors can appear slightly different depending on lighting conditions.
