La Mamma Up 5 and Up 6 Replica Chair & Ottoman - Gaetano Pesce Iconic Design

Product Description

The La Mamma Up 5 and Up 6 Replica from Sohnne is a high-quality reproduction of the iconic design by Gaetano Pesce, originally created in 1969 for B&B Italia. This chair and ottoman set is a striking blend of art, symbolism, and functionality, celebrated for its bold design and social commentary:

• Design: The La Mamma Up 5 chair features a curvaceous, oversized form that symbolizes a nurturing, protective feminine figure, inspired by ancient fertility goddesses like the Venus of Willendorf. The Up 6 ottoman, tethered to the chair with a cord, represents a metaphorical "ball and chain," reflecting the constraints faced by women—a powerful statement on femininity and societal roles. The chair’s sculptural shape, with its enveloping arms and backrest, provides a nurturing, womb-like comfort, while its pop-art aesthetic embodies the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 2].
• Materials:
  • Frame and Padding: Made from polyurethane foam with five different densities, creating a soft yet durable structure without wood or metal. This foam combination ensures lasting comfort and a glove-like fit for the human form [Web ID: 2].
  • Upholstery: Upholstered in high-quality polyester fabric, which is soft to the touch and easy to clean. The fabric can also be found in striped patterns (e.g., beige-orange) or solid colors, as seen in B&B Italia’s versions, adding visual appeal to the chair’s curves [Web ID: 2] [Web ID: 12].
  • Base: The base fabric is tailored for floor-standing chairs, offering a strong grip and reduced wear and tear, ensuring stability [Web ID: 2].
• Customization: Sohnne offers customizable upholstery options, allowing you to choose from various colors and patterns to suit your space, aligning with their commitment to personalized furniture [Web ID: 2].
• Versatility: This set is suited for living spaces, reception areas, and executive offices, serving as both a functional seat and a conversation piece. Its bold design makes it a focal point in modern interiors, as noted in customer reviews praising its comfort and style [Web ID: 0] [Web ID: 2]. The La Mamma Up 5 and Up 6 Replica is not just furniture—it’s a piece of design history, blending Pop Art aesthetics with social commentary, as Gaetano Pesce intended. Sohnne’s reproduction, while not affiliated with B&B Italia, aims to honor the original’s legacy with meticulous craftsmanship [Web ID: 0].

Product Care Instructions

Sohnne provides general care guidelines for their products, which apply to the La Mamma Up 5 and Up 6 Replica based on its materials (polyurethane foam and polyester fabric upholstery) [Web ID: 0]:

• Polyester Fabric Upholstery:
  • Cleaning: Gently vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For spills, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, blotting carefully to avoid damaging the fabric. Customer reviews confirm the fabric is easy to clean, supporting its practicality for daily use [Web ID: 0].
  • Maintenance: Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, as polyester can be sensitive to UV exposure. Professional cleaning is recommended for heavy soiling to maintain the fabric’s appearance.
• Polyurethane Foam Padding:
  • Cleaning: Spot-clean spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent absorption. Avoid soaking, as foam can retain moisture, potentially leading to degradation or mold growth.
  • Maintenance: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent mustiness, especially in humid environments. Fluff the foam occasionally to maintain its shape, as the chair’s design relies on foam for structure.
• General Tips:
  • Place the chair on a flat, stable surface to avoid stress on the foam structure.
  • Use a fabric protector spray to enhance stain resistance, testing first on a hidden area to avoid discoloration.
  • Dust regularly to prevent dirt accumulation, which can abrade the fabric over time. Sohnne also notes that with regular maintenance and inspection, the chair will provide years of superior performance, emphasizing the importance of proper care for longevity [Web ID: 2].
