Words from the artist:

Whenever i’m asked “what is your favorite animal”, Lion is the first to come to mind. I don’t know why, maybe because they are royalty, maybe because they are my zodiac sign. Either way I love them. The mane is the main focus of the chair because of a family nickname. Growing up my relatives would say my hair looked like Mufasa’s. It annoyed me at first, but now I own it. A lion’s mane means power and I like to think my hair is powerful.
