This striking chair showcases a bold circular silhouette with an open center, upholstered in luxurious red velvet that appears plush, rich, and deeply saturated, as shown in the photo. Its playful yet commanding presence makes it an instant focal point in any space.

The chair’s curving back wraps gracefully around the seat, creating an enveloping and intimate seating experience. Set atop angular metal legs, the contrast between soft velvet upholstery and sharp architectural supports enhances its postmodern character. The design is both functional and artistic, blurring the line between furniture and sculpture.

This Flamenco chair carries notable cultural significance, having been featured in Cirque du Soleil’s production Zumanity as well as Prince’s music video Black Sweat—adding a rare layer of pop-culture provenance that elevates it beyond a standard vintage seating piece. Upholstery is in good vintage condition with a soft, inviting hand and light wear consistent with age, contributing to its authentic character.

Measures approximately 52 inches wide x 41 inches deep x 55 inches high, offering generous scale without overwhelming a room. Ideal as a statement lounge chair, conversation chair, studio accent, or boutique display piece, it works beautifully in residential and creative commercial environments.

This piece pairs exceptionally well with Postmodern, Contemporary, Eclectic, Glam, Art Deco Revival, Avant-Garde, Maximalist, Modern, Pop Art, and Design-Forward interiors. It is especially well suited for living rooms, lofts, creative studios, fashion spaces, media rooms, hotel lounges, or gallery-style interiors, where bold design is celebrated.

A rare and expressive example of 1990s postmodern seating, this vintage tête-à-tête Flamenco chair is perfect for collectors, designers, and anyone seeking a sculptural, conversation-starting piece with real cultural presence.
