Learn More About The Chair Drawing

A chair is a common piece of furniture throughout the world. It is also one of the most ancient. The oldest known chairs date to about 2600 B.C.E. and were from ancient Egypt.

Chairs take on many forms. Traditionally, wooden chairs were upright in form with a cloth or woven cushion.

Today, chairs range from cloth sacks filled with styrofoam beans (bean bag chairs) and hammock-like chairs strung on a frame to single-piece chairs made entirely of plastic.

Some chairs, such as the office or video gamer chairs, serve specific purposes and are ergonomically designed to support the body.

Chairs also have symbolic meanings. Heavy, elaborate chairs called thrones have long been used to distinguish royalty and other important people.

To "chair" a meeting or an event means to preside over it, being given a symbolic seat of honor. Offering someone a chair can indicate friendship.
