Set of Big Mama Chairs by Gaetano Pesce for B&b Italia
SAFE PAYMENTS
The iconic Big Mama Chair and ottoman by Gaetano Pesce is a powerful design statement that blends provocative form with cultural commentary. Originally conceived in 1969 as part of the Up series, the chair features a bulbous, anthropomorphic silhouette with a connected spherical ottoman. Pesce described the form as an image of a prisoner, symbolizing how women are bound by societal prejudice and male dominance. Sculptural and emotive, the design invites reflection while offering bold, ergonomic comfort. This particular example is in excellent condition and has been professionally reupholstered in new fabric. The ottoman, measuring 40 centimeters in diameter, remains tethered to the chair as originally intended. A rare and meaningful addition to any design collection or modern interior that values both aesthetics and narrative depth.
