Chloe from One Kings Lane wrote to me recently about 'statement' chairs and asked if there was one that spoke to me. In terms of comfort I don't think this one is my fave, but for making a statement in a portrait I've always loved the Peacock Chair. In fact I referred to it in a five year old blog post of mine.
Here's an updated version of it:
Celebrities have favored them for special portraits:
Al Green
Bridget Bardot
Alexander Green
Dolly Parton
Huey Newton
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Marc Bolan
Father John Misty
Elizabeth Taylor
Jack Lord
Charlie Chaplin as Bonaparte
Katherine Hepburn
Julio Iglesias
Last, but not least: Robert Plant
I do have an obsession with chairs. In fact, a journalist came to the barn last week to interview my son and in the article she refers to my chairs as an aside. I also have a chair board on Pinterest and a chair set on Flickr.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go listen to some Al green, T-Rex and Led Zepplin!
