PAV O N E
A limited edition throne created in the image of a peacock, notorious for its
dramatic beauty and sublime plumage, the ceremonial chair will explore the idea
of seduction without compromise. The collection, by Marc Ange, draws inspiration
from the ‘Theory of Handicap’, an evolutionary hypothesis which examines the
costliness of advertised ornaments in the animal kingdom. The peacock, with its
wild and colorful feathers, leads a brazen and extravagant existence in the face
of possible danger. The beautiful bird does not hide and has no endowments in
self defense; his kind chooses form over function and vanity over sanctuary. The
capsule is composed of the Pavone throne – designed as a unique piece available
in three different colors – and a production set of “prêt-à-porter” Pavone armchairs.
