Peacock Chair
Description
The iconic 1970s "Peacock Chair" - a style made famous in the cult film Emmanuelle...
Add a touch of erotic '70s boho chic to your garden room or conservatory. Dating back to the 1950s, the design became (in)famous when actress Sylvia Kristel posed provocatively on a peacock chair for the poster of French soft erotic film Emmanuelle.
Even before Emmanuelle introduced audiences to the charms of the peacock chair (and we're sure that some people must have focused on the furnishings...), designer Carlo Mollino was using them as a backdrop for erotic portraits.
This peacock chair probably had a tamer existence, and is in great vintage condition (save the odd missing strand of rattan). A real modern classic and fantastic talking point.
