ABOUT PRODUCTID 6570
The 'Big Mama' armchair and ottoman, designed by Gaetano Pesce for B&B Italia (UP limited 40), represent an icon of late 1960s Italian design. The construction showcases sculptural, organic forms: a generously rounded seat with a high, enveloping backrest and integrated armrests draws the eye with its soft, continuous lines, while the ottoman—a perfect sphere—complements the set as a visually cohesive element. The ensemble is upholstered in a uniform, light beige cashmere-type fabric with a matte, velvety finish; the subtle nap and gentle tonal variations emphasize the piece's tactile quality. Visible, meticulously executed seams highlight the handcrafted nature, and the proportions remain faithful to the original design. The overall aesthetic is postmodern, capturing the experimental spirit of its era. The set is in excellent, restored condition—the upholstery is taut and even, showing no signs of wear, damage, or discoloration.The form of 'Big Mama' tells the story of a radical shift in furniture design—a voice from the 1960s, when designers like Pesce broke with convention, giving everyday objects a new, organic identity. The sinuous curves suggest an intimacy with the body, while the sculptural silhouette recalls the fascination with plasticity and experimental materials of the time. The armchair and ottoman invite the user to immerse in their generous volume, as if manifesting a freedom of form and comfort that rejects rigid geometry in favor of flowing, liberated shapes.The Big Mama set may serve as a focal point in the living room, paired with minimalist accessories or geometric wall art to accentuate
