The up5 and its matching ottoman, the up6, are molded from flexible polyurethane foam, vacuum-packed, and unfold as if by themselves. The organic silhouette quickly became an icon of the radical italian design movement.

this b&b italia example features the original orange-red striped upholstery. The fabric has been professionally deep-cleaned, and the foam filling has retained its elasticity. Minimal signs of wear are visible on the upholstery; overall, it is in very good condition.
