The Mellotron Group

Thanks Chris-
   I had to retrieve my copy of Roger Dean's excellent art book "Views" and re-live a bit of the '70s.  Page 130 shows Martyn's Retreat Pod, and Roger's pod-like Childrens Bed follows on page 134.  Pages of house designs followed that.  Mind-bending!
   Then there were his amazing watercolor posters....
 
   Hey, did he have any thoughts on the Mellotron?

Number 2 sat in an Earo Arnio Ball chair. 
 
The Egg Chair was a different designer (maybe Italian)
 
The retreat pod chair ( half of which appears in Clockwork Orange before the rape scene) was created by Martyn Dean - Roger Dean's brother who did all the Yes stage architecture.
 
Roger and I discussed this a some length during a recent weekend course / exhibit I attended.
 
(His business card is also very interesting! )

Didn't Number 2 always sit in one of those when interrogating Number 6....?

 
Loved the "Egg Chair"(but with windows?).  I remember the ones that had speakers planted in them.  $500 to $700 each in the mid '70's.  I believe Roger Dean even designed one.  Phaaaaar Out!
