The chair is titled the ‘Haute Couture’ Wild Cat designed by Carlo Rampazzi and handmade in Italy by Colombostile. Michael Jackson ordered the chair for his mansion in Kent, England, where he was to stay during the ‘This Is It’ concert series in London for a retail price of over USD 26,000. It is one of some 22 pieces of furniture custom-made for Michael Jackson to be part of Julien’s three-day ‘Music Icons’ auction, due to take place at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, USA, on 25 June 2010. The furniture collection is expected to fetch well over 1 million USD (0.73 million euros). EPA/PHOTO COURTESY OF COLOMBOSTILE / HO EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
