Vintage Design
In the early 1960s, the chemist Bayer developed a polyurethane foam based on a new resin, allowing the creation of various forms, in a simple way. from the middle of the decade, the Italian publisher of design C&B takes hold and invests in the possibilities offered by this evolution. The company then offers Gaetano Pesce, interested in new technologies and the potential they offer, to experience this material: it develops the “series up”. The first editions did not have a bearing structure and consisted of a unique block, simplifying the transport of the seat. Its volume was reduced by compressing it under vacuum in an airtight packaging. Once placed in the desired place, the buyer cleared the seat packaging, so it was swollen slowly and resumed its shape and initial size, thanks to the air which enters the cells of the polyurethane foam. Originally edited by C&B, it was removed from the catalog in 1973 due to the presence of Fréon gas. He reappeared in 2000, manufactured in Bayfit and marketed by B&B Italia.
The internal structure is made of polyurethane foam made up of two monobloc parts.
