the peacock chair is dror's first collaboration with furniture manufacturer cappellini.
designed by dror benshetrit, the chair's form is created out of three sheets of felt and a minimal
metal frame. the folds of the felt are woven tightly in order to form the structured but comfortable
lounge chair. no sewing, weaving or upholstery are invovled in the production of the piece.
