Karakter PEACOCK CHAIR Armchair with steel wire frame

Peacock Chair is a chair with an electro-welded and electro-polished stainless steel frame; cushions in polyurethane foam and recycled polyester velveteen; removable fabric cover.‎ Among Verner Panton's first designs, the Peacock Chair was created in 1959 as part of the Wire series, the famous collection of furniture made of steel wire that marked a definitive break with the tradition of Scandinavian wooden furniture.‎ At a time when most Danish designers favoured natural woods, Panton chose wire, attracted by its lightness and transparency, but also by its ability to reflect the surrounding colours.‎ His intention was to create furniture that looked as if it were drawn in the air.‎ A fluid work of unpredictable shapes and manifesto aesthetics, the Peacock Chair is reminiscent of the opening of a peacock's tail, evoking its multifaceted beauty, which is also recalled in the model's name.‎ In a kaleidoscopic synaesthesia, visual comfort triumphs in a frame of shapes and colours: above the frame, a sophisticated intersection of steel geometries, the seat opens up like a hemispherical niche, welcoming the upholstered part.‎ Conceived as a dynamic system, it is composed of seven round cushions, the central one is fixed to the structure and the other six are free in their arrangement, designed to generate a different, intimate and immersive configuration each time.‎
