Driade Pavo Lounge Chair

The Driade Pavo Lounge Chair looks just like the wicker chair my mother owned in the 1970s, but this is actually a more recent design.

The other difference is that whereas my mother’s chair was made solely from woven wicker, this chair has been made with the all together more sturdy steel, then covered with wicker. The chair is finished off with a leather-covered cushion.

The chair costs just of £1400 from Nest, which I presume is considerably more than my mother paid for her version.
