DIY Medieval Seating

This Crafty Iron Throne Chair is the King of Bean Bag Furniture

— April 24, 2014 — Art & Design
This homemade iron throne chair is likely a bit more comfortable than the one it is modeled after in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones. This homemade bean bag furniture lets you relax in a way the players vying for Westeros never can. Created by Isabell Kiko of Nerd by Night, the iron throne chair even comes with instructions and patterns so you can make your own medieval themed seat.

This provides Game of Thrones fans with the ultimate DIY project, as they take on making a throne of their own while the characters fight for the right to rule. Once completed, the bean bag provides the perfect place to curl up and re-read the fantasy books, penned by George R. R. Martin.
