The first one of them was called Stekkjarstaur/Stekkjastaur = sheep-cote clod). He had two wooden legs or peg legs which may have made him slow to move but he still found all the energy to harass sheep that had been brought in for the winter. Old Icelandic houses were linked to the barn so the sheep running around in panic would be easily heard through the house.MATERIAL:

Product Description:
The idea was to make a light-weight chair of reused and recycled materials that is easy to transport, stack and use in small spaces. The chair is easy to disassemble and has its own unique material story. For example, the materials for this particular chair come from an old oak table that was given to me by someone who had bought it at a flea market. The back is made of used bicycle tubes stuffed with pig hair.
