The Magic Armchair
The Magic Armchair is a Santa throne with a virtual reality headset, a red and gold seat that takes whoever sits down into the workshop where the elves wrap the presents. Children love it and adults are curious to try it, and an attraction the whole family enjoys keeps visitors in your Christmas village for longer.
An adventure that revolves around you
Santa’s throne, red and gold with a carved scroll back, catches the eye from across the room. In the video, whoever sits down puts on the headset, reaches out towards the presents they see around them and forgets where they are for the whole journey. Meanwhile, the people around them follow their reactions and laugh along, so the show draws in everyone who stops to watch.

The right answers to your questions
Can The Magic Armchair be rented or bought?
The Magic Armchair is available both to hire and to buy. Hiring suits a single season or event, while buying makes sense if you want it back every Christmas.
If you buy it, the warranty lasts 2 years and is valid as long as the data sheet conditions are met.
The quote depends on the space and the period.
Where can The Magic Armchair be installed?
The Magic Armchair is designed for indoor use, as it is IP54 certified for interiors and must be kept between 10 and 25 °C. With a few adjustments it can sometimes go outdoors: ask Menart via the form at the bottom of the page.
It suits shopping centres, shops, exhibition halls, museums and heated Christmas cabins. It plugs into a standard 220 V socket and runs at 12 V internally.
What is included with The Magic Armchair?
The Magic Armchair includes the scenic throne, the control unit, the virtual reality headsets, the start panel and the sound system.
The headset plays a 2-minute 3D video set in Santa’s workshop, which you can look at in every direction by turning with the armchair. The operator starts each visit individually with the push button.
How much space does The Magic Armchair need, and how is it installed?
The Magic Armchair takes up a circle 120 cm in diameter and is 150 cm high.
Assembly is simple, as Menart provides a manual and video instructions. Leave the safety space shown in the instructions around the throne, and it is worth keeping an area clear in front of the throne for visitors getting ready to sit down.
How does The Magic Armchair work in a Christmas village?
The Magic Armchair suits indoor Christmas villages, where sitting on Santa’s throne is one of children’s favourite moments.
With the headset, the throne also becomes an attraction, and the visit to the workshop adds to the souvenir photo, one visitor at a time.
