Cilla Memorial Storytelling Chair – Handcrafted Wooden Tribute

A heartfelt tribute in handcrafted wood, this bespoke storytelling chair was originally created in memory of Cilla, a beloved school cat who captured hearts both locally and internationally. This one-of-a-kind piece is a beautiful example of how furniture can carry meaning, celebrate life, and tell a story.

Perfect for school gardens, libraries, or outdoor reading corners, this handmade oak chair features a lovingly illustrated portrait of Cilla engraved and painted onto the tall backrest, with her name carved above. The design invites children to gather, sit, and share stories – keeping memories alive in a warm and natural way.
