“Chair” (commonly known as The Big Chair) is a public artwork designed as an advertisement by Bassett Furniture, located in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington. “Chair” was originally surveyed as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1994. It was once considered the world's largest chair but has been overtaken by works like “Broken Chair” in Geneva and the temporary “The Writer on Hampstead Heath” in London.

The chair, which stands 19½ feet high, is a detail-to-detail replica of a Duncan Phyfe style chair. Painted brown with a white and brown striped "cushion", the chair is entirely made of aluminum. Weighing between 4,000 and 4,600 pounds, the chair sits on a concrete base.

The Big Chair is featured on one of the cherry blossom sculptures titled “The Real Landmarks.”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
