Gaetano Pesce — "up-5 Donna" Chair And "up-6" Ottoman
Gaetano Pesce

"up-5 Donna" Chair And "up-6" Ottoman

Gaetano Pesce's "Up-5 Donna" Chair and "Up-6" Ottoman is a bold and provocative sculptural seating design that takes the form of a voluptuous, anthropomorphic female figure rendered in soft, rounded foam. The chair's curvaceous silhouette evokes the human body while simultaneously serving as a functional object, challenging conventional boundaries between art, design, and social commentary. Pesce intentionally connected the chair to a ball-and-chain ottoman, offering a powerful feminist critique of the constraints historically imposed on women.
