The Beaver Storytelling Chair is a hand-carved solid oak throne featuring beavers in intricate detail across the backrest — originally commissioned for the Dyfi Osprey Project in Mid Wales, and one of the most nature-connected chairs we have ever made.
The Dyfi commission came from a desire to put a chair in the landscape that felt as though it belonged there — something that told the story of beavers returning to Welsh waterways, that children and families could sit in and feel part of that story. The result is a throne that works equally well in a visitor centre, a school, a wetland nature reserve or a woodland classroom.
Carved by hand in our workshop and finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for full outdoor durability. Built from solid British oak — the same material used for all our wildlife range — and made to last outdoors year-round without special maintenance.
