Follow the jump to find out.



TUTU CITY HALL05(light) (2).jpgIt was Archbishop Desmond Tutu getting comfy in the chair; a fairly traded and sustainably sourced Jogya lounger worth £550. And doesn't he look happy about it!

Tutu was attending the Salisbury Arts Festival to discuss his ministry of peace and commitment to humanitarian causes. I hope the knowledge that those luxurious looking cushions were made under entirely ethical conditions made the experience all the more comfortable for him.
