Yes, this Pink Floyd Armchair is real! Photograph by Robert Courtney.

Wonderful weather and thankfully compliant cows. Photograph by Robert Courtney.

The chair was so big we had to hire a large industrial unit to make it, then transport the parts to the studio for painting. Photograph by Robert Courtney.

Onsite finishing-off, the whole chair was hand-painted by Model Solutions team of artists. Photograph by Robert Courtney.

The chair was constructed the same way as the Division Bell heads, though somewhat larger and heavier. Model Solutions team ‘will it into place’. Photograph by Robert Courtney

Despite its size, we were concerned it would blow away. I didn’t fancy carrying it back across the countryside. Photograph by Robert Courtney.

You might be able to create a picture with a prompt, but you will never have a shared magical experience. Photograph by Robert Courtney.

Original Polaroid of the maquette for the Pink Floyd chair, made by Robert Courtney (it was about a foot high) and illustrated by one of Storm’s friends. I took hundreds of photos of armchairs (I still have them) in film prop houses, and Storm and I developed the ideal ‘comfy chair’. Slightly ‘off-centre’ Polaroid by Robert Courtney (I have others).
