A giant outdoor throne chair in solid Welsh oak — broad enough for two, built to last decades, and imposing enough to become the centrepiece of any garden or outdoor space.
This piece was commissioned by a client who wanted something that couldn't be confused with anything from a garden centre. Solid oak, heavyweight construction, a high carved back with sweeping arms — and enough width across the seat to sit two adults side by side in genuine comfort. The brief was for something that would feel at home in a grand garden but was also made to actually be sat in, season after season, in the Welsh weather. That's what we built.
Built entirely from solid oak with solid hand-built joinery throughout and finished with Epifanes matt varnish — three coats — for outdoor durability. Oak is one of the hardest, most weather-resistant native timbers; a piece like this, well maintained, will outlast most garden furniture by decades. The total height of 180 cm gives it a presence that earns its place in any setting.
