A little history

Origins and Design

The peacock tail rattan chair, also known as the peacock chair, has its origins in the craft traditions of Southeast Asia. Its name comes from the distinctive shape of the backrest which evokes the splendor of a blooming peacock tail.

This armchair draws its roots from the work of rattan, a climbing plant woven to create light but robust furniture. Although its elaborate design was influenced by Indian culture, it was in the early 20th century that it established itself in the West as an exotic and elegant element.
