The Giant Shrek Throne is a hand-carved solid oak throne with Shrek himself carved into the backrest — a fairy-tale chair for the greatest of all modern fairy tales, built for schools, gardens, storytelling spaces and anyone who believes that donkeys can talk and swamps can be magical.
Shrek is one of the great story structures of our time — the reluctant hero, the journey, the dragon, the rescued princess who turns out to be exactly who she needs to be. All of that is in this chair. The carvings are cut by hand in our Mid Wales workshop from solid Welsh oak, and the chair is built with the kind of joinery that lasts decades in outdoor settings. It's big enough to be a genuine visual statement in any garden, library corner or school playground. And the children who sit in it will know, without being told, that something special is about to happen.
Finished with three coats of Epifanes matt varnish for lasting outdoor protection. Solid hand-built joinery throughout. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Your Version
The Shrek design is what we've made before — but your throne can carry any character, creature or story. If you want your own fairy tale carved into the backrest, we'd love to hear what it is. This is exactly the kind of brief our workshop gets excited about.
