🌿 A Throne of Stories: A Client’s Viking Storytelling Chair

One of the joys of our work at Free Range Designs is seeing our furniture take on a new life once it leaves the workshop. Recently, a client sent us these beautiful photos of her Viking-inspired Storytelling Chair, now sitting proudly in its new home. Surrounded by warm wood, glowing candlelight, and leafy plants, the chair looks every inch the throne it was meant to be.

Hand-carved from solid oak, this chair weaves together Norse knotwork, braided patterns, and a central tree of life design — symbols of strength, wisdom, and continuity. The high back and sturdy armrests give it presence and authority, making it the perfect seat for storytellers, readers, or anyone who wants to bring a little magic into their home or community.

But perhaps the best review comes from the client herself, who told us:

“It was worth every penny.”

That simple phrase means the world to us. Every hour of carving, every detail of design, every decision to let the natural oak speak for itself — it’s all worthwhile when the finished piece brings this much joy.

This chair isn’t just a seat; it’s a centre of attention, a piece that draws people in and invites them to pause, reflect, and imagine. In its new home, surrounded by plants and the glow of a nearby lamp, it truly comes alive.
