This exhibition is all about the art, design and marketing of chairs.

From Victorian traveling salesmen’s artwork and miniature chairs, to slick 1970s adverts. Discover the designs that made Wycombe chairs known around the world.

From drawings and prints, to chair templates and catalogues – see documents and images from Wycombe Museum’s collection as well as iconic items loaned from the archives of prominent local furniture manufacturers such as Ercol and Hands

Be inspired and have a go at our fun interactive activities for all ages – customise your own chair upholstery, try your hand at loading a wagon with your wares as a travelling salesman, and more!
