“White…room…Chair. Throne Chair. Carlo Bugatti throne chair. Principal component walnut and blackened wood.Pewter, copper, brass. Some restoration.” Alien: Covenant Novelisation

Carlo Bugatti’s extraordinary furniture designs stand alone in the history of decorative arts. Indeed, the name for his Milanese furniture business testifies to the fantastic nature of his work: C. Bugatti & C., Fabbrica Mobili Artistici Fantasia (C. Bugatti & Co., Artistic Fantasies Furniture Factory).

Bugatti’s ideas were much inspired by Moorish, Islamic and Japanese design and he was no doubt influenced by the general European interest in Orientalism during the late nineteenth century. It is, nevertheless, Bugatti’s idiosyncratic combination of these cultural styles that make his furniture so unusual. His approach to furniture design was to treat it as an opportunity for artistic creativity.

Carlo Bugatti was the son of a sculptor and stone carver and studied at the Accademia di Brera, Milan, and the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, where he developed an early interest in architecture. Around 1880 he had turned his interests towards cabinet-making and by 1888 had established a commercial furniture workshop in Milan, producing handcrafted furniture to his own designs. However, details of Bugatti’s life remain sketchy and the first visual documentation of his work does not emerge until 1888 when he exhibited at the Italian Exhibition in Earls Court, London, from which nine pieces of his furniture were illustrated in the Queen, The Lady’s Newspaper. Bugatti made a strong impression on the British, being awarded a diploma of honour and subsequently receiving one of his most notable interior design commissions, the bedroom for the English society figure Cyril Flower, Lord Battersea. The furniture for this commission reflects Bugatti’s characteristic style of the 1890s, which incorporated a variety of oriental design elements and the use of unusual materials.

Throne chair c.1900 encapsulates Bugatti’s mature style of this period. Signature features include his use of ebonised wood inlaid with metal, which has been described as Moorish but, equally, may owe as much to Japanese inspiration as to Islamic. The inlay was achieved by carving the designs into the wood and then filling them with molten metal. On the front stretcher these inlays appear to reference a foreign script but in other areas they represent plants and birds in a pseudo-Japanese fashion. Bugatti also incorporated a variety of unusual materials into his furniture, such as fringing and tasselling, which added an exotic flavour and softened the hard-edged geometric style. His use of vellum is also particularly characteristic and Bugatti often decorated it with plant motifs in a soft brown wash. He often framed these panels with strips of copper beaten with geometric patterns, seen to great effect on the circular back and around the arms and seat of the Throne chair. Bugatti’s employment of asymmetry contributed significantly to the individual nature of his work. Its use is striking yet his furniture never appears unbalanced or out of proportion. It is completely grounded and rich with exotic ornament and imagination.

There is so much symbolism in the choice and placement of this chair and how it is used in the prologue.

We see David sitting in it, Weyland off to the side observing him. David sits upon Weyland’s throne so to speak, and in the P.Weyland files we find out that Weyland viewed David as his one true offspring and caretaker who will protect his legacy in this life and the next.

This chair is made up of many parts, and despite its varying materials it still remains a beautiful creation and balanced in every way. Much like David’s Ovomorphs. There I said it, I was skeptical too when I discovered to my horror that David would be the creator of the Xenomorph. But after combing through all of David’s illustrations he had done on Planet 4 in relation to his research you can definitely see how he created them. Like the David sculpture in the Prologue, it was just a copy but it still retained an air of creativity on the part of the sculptor. Just as the chair had been restored, so had the engineer’s creation to a certain extent. The engineers used the eggs in ritualistic sacrifice to cleanse them of their sins, the resulting deacon would then wipe out the population. A flood would cleanse the world. So that they could seed the planet and start a new.

It was brought to my attention that there is another chair far away and against the wall, not looking over world as Weyland’s chair. There is no creator of Weyland looking over him because his creators are gone. When the crew of the USCSS Covenant arrive at planet 4 it is empty, the throne is empty, there is nothing.

“There is nothing in the desert, and no man needs nothing” - David 8, Prometheus

"I think you are another of these desert-loving English: Doughty, Stanhope, Gordon of Khartoum. No Arab loves the desert. We love water and green trees, there is nothing in the desert. No man needs nothing." - Prince Feisal, Lawrence of Arabia

There is Japanese text inlaid in gold as well on the spike, I believe it’s a foreshadowing that Weyland Corporation/Industries will merge with Yutani Corporation in the future.
