Peacock Chair by Cappellini.

The Peacock Chair was introduced to the world at this year's Milan Furniture Fair by Cappellini. It is designed by New York based Israeli, Dror Benshetrit. I love the chair's construction, check out the last image on how the lovely rich wool felt is pleated near the legs. The chair is made with two pieces of felt (to create a rich colour on one side and a muted grey on the other) and pleated lovingly into shape. Look at the way the backrest meets the seat, so orderly and perfectly in place making it aesthetically provoking yet charming.
