FAN FAVORITE: THE PEACOCK CHAIR

Singer Cat Power surrounded by bohemian splendor

Considering the surge in re-creating vintage classics for today, a few companies have taken to creating their version of the boho chic Peacock Chair. Evoking the 70's, filled with loungey afternoons, Indian printed wall tapestries, Stevie Nicks and a care-free existence, the once-exotic Victorian-era stalwart is emerging again, as a chair of the moment.  Beloved for its begging-to-be-noticed presence and dramatic scale, this larger than life chair is now available without the vintage/thrift store crawl.

The giant, enveloping fan-shaped back on Anthropologie's Reina Chair resembles the great oversized Peacock chairs of yore. Transformed in a fresh turquoise paint, this chair is a smile-inducing piece that would be at home in a sunroom or cozy corner. Find it in the new Stylebeat Shop.
