The Fairy Story Chair is a hand-carved solid oak fairy throne designed for younger children — smaller in scale than our full storytelling chairs, with the same quality of carving and the same sense that something magical is about to happen the moment a child sits down in it.
Its organic, rustic form feels grown rather than built — the kind of chair that looks as though it might have been found at the root of a very old tree, in a part of the wood where fairies are known to gather. It is the right size for a reading corner, a nursery, a forest school clearing, or a fairy garden, and it has the presence to hold a child's attention from the moment they see it.
Carved by hand in our Mid Wales workshop from solid sustainably sourced oak, and finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for outdoor durability. Small enough to move between spaces but solid enough to last for years of daily use.
