It must be a great chair!
My favorite quote about the 70s is from the late Spy Magazine, which called it the "wide decade". Wide hair, wide sideburns, wide pants, wide ties, wide lapels.
It's really fun to see how the illustrations in sewing books change: the color pictures in the early mid 70s Vogue sewing book are amazing. By then 'ethnic' had become high style (they'll have to grab the collection of YSL Vogue patterns from my cold dead hands -- from Dr. Zhivago through Chinoiserie to vague Balkan to people's front militaresque. My freshman year in college was '72 -73, and I wasn't capable of sewing anything like that until much later in the century.)
