A continental breakfast chair is a unique piece of furniture that has become a cultural phenomenon and sparked discussions, memes, and even confusion on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. It is an art installation created by Swedish artist Anna Uddenberg as part of her exhibition called "Continental Breakfast". The installation consists of two uniquely-shaped, custom chairs inspired by plane seats, hospital accessories, and hotel design. The chairs were not meant for human use, and Uddenberg used these chairs to critique technology, authority, wealth, and bodily autonomy. The chair is designed to stage an act of submission, where a woman becomes the symbol of passive submission, and the eater is the dominant figure. The name "Continental Breakfast" speaks specifically to the body as an asset to modify and control, and its a metaphor for how we relinquish autonomy to user-friendly technologies. The chair represents a modern object conceived as the perfect seat for a controversial human meal, and the shocking meaning behind Continental Breakfast is that the meal is a sexual act, and the "food" is the woman, suddenly transformed into an object.
