UP-5 DONNA CHAIR, DESIGNED 1969

Specialist note

This scarce early example, preserved in excellent original condition, is of overall broader and softer proportions than the examples subsequently released by the factory in fully-expanded form. The earliest examples of this series were retailed flat-packed, and upon breaking an airtight packaging seal, the polyurethane foam would inflate to the determined form. The distinctive striped stretch-jersey upholstery confirms manufacture to the initial series of production.
