Fur In It?' Chair
Fee Fee La Fou Enterprises makes unruly upholstery for the unconventional.
Childhood imaginary friends, Jean Charles De Castelbajac’s ‘Kermit’ coat, Annette Messager’s toy installations & a life long fascination with Furry Fandom inspired this particular piece.
It is made using hundreds of vintage soft toys, which are individually hand stitched together before being sewn by hand, onto the chair.
The base of the chair is a replica Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair originally designed in 1958. The Egg Chair encompasses all the ideals of Danish furniture & creates a real sense of comfort & intimacy. The foot of the chair can be pivoted & inclined.
Due to the delicate nature of the materials used please wipe with a damp cloth or steam clean infrequently.

Fee Fee La Fou Enterprises
Fiona Duffelen is a multi disciplinary artist who loves to paint, print, collage, sculpt & sew. She exhibited her work internationally before setting up her studio in Hackney Wick.
Her alter ego Miss Fee Fee La Fou is the Founder & Ringmaster of this three-ring spectacle.
She was the first Sprechstallmeister to wear pink top hat & tails.
The daughter of Leonard Zelig, a mimic, she has been dubbed the Human Chameleon for she has an extraordinary hidden talent – the ability to blend almost seamlessly into intricate backgrounds with careful application of body paint & a bit of acrobatics.
She studies her chosen location for hours before painting herself or other subjects to blend in, taking both texture & perspective into account in order to ensure the complete success of this unusual disappearing act!
Her dressing room Dreamland is a neon nirvana; a cornucopia of kitsch for it contains thousands of pieces of original neon art including a miniature replica of Vegas & Arthur Windley’s miniature funfair, which he built for his own amusement, in his garden shed over a 40-year period.
