Fresh from the Workshop: Storytelling Chairs Ready for Story Time

We’re excited to share a few of the storytelling chairs that have just left our Welsh workshop. Every commission nudges our designs forward—and this month three are flying out to a school in Serbia (lucky kids!). Hand-carved from local Welsh oak, these story time chairs are built to last outdoors and to make reading feel special.

This month’s line-up

  • Badger Story Throne – a playful tower of badgers wrapped around the uprights; a brilliant focal point for outdoor reading circles.
  • Once Upon a Time Chair – owl, fox, rabbit and songbirds gathered beneath a heart plaque; instant “gather round” energy.
  • Safari Story Throne – giraffe, elephant, lion and leopard for big-adventure tales and geography themes.

Why schools choose our story time chairs

  • Solid Welsh oak with exterior finish for playgrounds and forest school.
  • Friendly carvings that settle the group and spark questions.
  • Comfortable scale with smooth arms and generous seats for readers and teachers.
  • Personalisation – add your badge, motto, names, dates or a dedication panel.

From fantasy to furniture, we sketch with you, then carve your idea into a chair that turns every page into an adventure. If you’d like to commission a piece for your school, library or community garden, we’d love to hear from you.
