Visionnaire around
Il Pavone is the king of the encounter.
A limited edition throne created in the
image of a peacock, notorious for its
dramatic beauty and sublime plumage,
the ceremonial chair explores the idea of
seduction without compromise.
The collection draws inspiration from the
“Theory of Handicap”, an evolutionary
hypothesis
which
examines
the
costliness of advertised ornament 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.
Marc Ange’s ode to this innate beauty, Il
Pavone, uses 70’s vintage inspired camel
leather, vibrant blue and green custom
Visionnaire fabrics, and brass coated in
regal bronze plating, to give life to an
allegorical convergence of Art & Design.
Il Pavone Armchair series has been
presented as a fleet of five, and an
aesthetically conservative version of the
solitaire throne. Together, the six pieces
from the capsule collection create the
pinnacle of a verdure journey through
The Garden of Beauty.
