Details of the Congregation Chairs made for the coronation:

One hundred chairs have been made in collaboration between The Royal Household, Royal Warrant Holder furniture maker N.E.J Stephenson and The Prince’s Foundation. These chairs were designed by N.E.J Stephenson and will be positioned in Westminster Abbey. The Chairs have been covered in blue velvet and feature the cyphers of Their Majesties.

 The frames of several of the Congregation Chairs were made by six young graduates from The Prince’s Foundation at the Snowdon School of Furniture at Highgrove using traditional materials and techniques to create the chairs with sustainable British oak. This forms part of the wider work carried out by The Prince’s Foundation to preserve traditional skills that are at risk of being lost.

Following the Coronation, the Chairs will be auctioned, and the proceeds will be donated to charity.
