Miniature Chair - La Mamma (1:6 scale)
£305.00
Product details
- The original of the La Mamma was designed by Gaetano Pesce in 1969 and it is produced as 1:1 model by b & b italia, Milan/Italy since 1969
- The 1:6 scale miniature consists of polyurethane foam and overlaid with a nylon jersey
- La Mamma (Donna) is completely in tune with the spirit of Pop Art and the Gaetano Pasce fondness for anthropomorphic shapes. The chair was actually designed to resemble a prehistoric, female fertility figure, with a ball attached to symbolise captivity. The unconventional nature of the shape also applies to the construction and marketing of the chair which was one of a series of six. Together they succeeded in marking a radical break from traditional upholstery production thanks to the technology developed by C & B Italia for creating oversized foam parts
- Donna consists of a moulded monoblock of foam without any supporting structure since the foam rubber is dense and free-standing
