Roald Dahl's writing chair, pre-1960s

3D ModelNoAI

This armchair is where the famous writer sat to write many of his children’s classics. As Roald had a spinal injury, which was a result of crashing his plane as a fighter pilot during WW2, the chair put pressure on his lower back. So, Roald adapted the chair for his disability by cutting a large hole in the back of it to make it more comfortable. Object from the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre.
