The Continental Breakfast Chair is an art piece created by Swedish artist Anna Uddenberg as part of her exhibition "Continental Breakfast". The chair is not meant for human use and was designed to critique technology, authority, wealth, and bodily autonomy. The chairs design is inspired by plane seats, hospital accessories, and hotel design. The chair has become a cultural phenomenon, sparking discussions, memes, and even confusion. The artist said that the chair stages an act of submission, where a woman becomes the symbol of passive submission, and the name "Continental Breakfast" speaks specifically to the body as an asset to modify and control. The chair is a metaphor for how we relinquish autonomy to user-friendly technologies, and the body is "willfully supported, entrapped, pampered, and ultimately rendered useless, all while on view for public consumption". Therefore, the Continental Breakfast Chair is not used for any practical purpose, but rather it is an artistic marvel and a commentary on modern society.
