Retro cow print swivel chair

Cow_chair
This might look like an example of sixties seating, but this cow print swivel chair is actually a modern piece, but very much in the style of a vintage chair.

As the name suggests quirky chair does indeed swivel, thanks to the rotating chrome base. The cow print is something you’ll either love or hate. But wait – you don’t need to have it. Other covers are indeed available – including a particularly kitsch leopard print and a more toned-down plain red.

As it’s not a design classic, the price comes down considerably. You can pick this up for £232.
