The Peacock chair is a unique design that addresses some of the main issues people have faced when working from home during the recent worldwide shift to remote work. The chair is designed to help with privacy, distractions, noise, and the ability to maintain a work-life balance.
One of the defining features of this chair is the shroud, which is a pleated felt material that can be kept in a downward position when the chair is being used during a more casual time. In this state, the person seated is more exposed to the environment and the space the chair lives in is less divided, creating an open and inclusive space.
When the shroud is flipped upwards, it creates a personal and private space that is perfect for working. The change of position can also signal to others that the person is busy and should not be interrupted. The pleats on the shroud also add a significant amount of surface area, which helps with dampening noise, making it ideal for working in a shared living space.
The Peacock chair thus offers a flexible solution for people to easily shift between different type of activities and also help with sound insulation and privacy.
