Can anyone identify the designer and manufacturer of the leather swivel lounge chairs featured on a special episode of the Dick Cavett show filmed in London in roughly 1970 or 1971? In this episode, Cavett and all of this guests (Roger Moore, Enoch Powell, & Jonathan Miller) are seated in this mystery chair.

The leather swivel lounge chairs featured in this episode are different from the lounge chairs featured on Cavett's normal US program, which featured Eames Executive "Time Life" chairs.

How did they make Roger Moore's face the same clay color of the chairs, though? 

And is that a cigar??

The '70's are truly underrated!

Awesome!  You have an amazingly encyclopedic knowledge of furniture design.  Thank you so much, once again!

Not really, just an above-average ability to search furniture makers online. A skill somewhere between memorizing phone numbers and typewriter repair in terms of usefulness.

So true!  Check out the posture relative to other guests.  Instinctively, he's offering a visual college lecture in how to make a chair even more beautiful.

I don't think he'd yet begun his Bond career at this point.  With one glimpse you can see that the Mr. Bond role was inevitable.  And he thereby offered us a steady stream of unforgettable  1970s furniture and interior design backdrops!  He definitely shaped my early imagination of the 1970s.
