Into the Real British Mood.

"The Avengers: Into the Real British mood" article by Angela Maria Piga, from the April 2010 No.716 Casa Vogue supplement. 

Regarding the previously mentioned chair that appeared in You Have Just Been Murdered, I feel I really should have known before that one (with a modified base) also featured in You Only Live Twice (Ernst Blofeld's chair).  In my defence it's been a very long time since I've watched You Only Live Twice. I also should have guessed that the chairs were made by G-Plan

The chair is a model no.6250 a.k.a "The World's Most Comfortable Chair", & according to the The High Wycombe Electronic Furniture Archive it was part of the Mainstream range, & designed around 1962 by Paul Conti.  (I'm going to have lots of fun looking through the HW archive).  The chairs seem as if they often sell on eBay for between £350 & 400 each (I got my 2 + a matching stool for £20 about 5 years ago).

Now if only I could get a mini one for the Mames! (they might have to settle for a non-swiveling & rocking Triang Spot-On wing chair instead!).
