ABOUT PRODUCTID 30917
The La Mamma (UP5) lounge chair, designed by Gaetano Pesce for Cassina in the 1980s, is a hallmark of radical Italian design rooted in the pop-art and avant-garde movements. Its monolithic, organic form is crafted from foam and upholstered in a faded coral-pink synthetic fabric, featuring subtle tonal variations and deep button tufting that accentuates its enveloping silhouette. The matte, soft fabric underscores the sculptural autonomy of the piece, while the absence of visible legs or frame enhances its presence as a functional sculpture with clear allusions to the human body. Generous proportions and a low, embracing seat create a distinctive, comfortable place to relax. The condition is described as worn: there are visible discolorations, stains, a large tear on the right armrest revealing the yellow foam beneath, and significant signs of use; reupholstery and restoration are required.La Mamma speaks with the voice of the late 1960s and early 1980s—a period when furniture began to transcend pure function and became a statement of artistic and social change. Its organic shape echoes themes of emancipation, freedom, and a bold search for new forms of expression. Every mark, faded hue, and tear in the fabric tells the story of a life lived intensely—remnants of gatherings, conversations, and creative experiments. Gaetano Pesce's design is an artifact of an era when the home became a site of experimentation, blurring the boundaries between art, design, and the everyday.In interiors, La
