The Continental Breakfast Chair is an art piece created by Swedish artist Anna Uddenberg as part of an exhibition called "Continental Breakfast". The chair is not meant for human use and is 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 chairs meaning and purpose have been interpreted in various ways, including as a commentary on modern society, a metaphor for how we relinquish autonomy to user-friendly technologies, and a representation of functional design becoming dysfunctional or harmful to humans. The artist has described the chair as staging an act of submission, where a woman becomes the symbol of passive submission. Overall, the Continental Breakfast Chair is an artistic marvel that invites the audience to question societal norms and engage with audiences in unexpected ways.
