what is the continental breakfast chair

The Continental Breakfast Chair is a uniquely-shaped chair that has gone viral on social media platforms after its videos were shared widely on TikTok. The chair was created by Swedish artist Anna Uddenberg as part of an art installation called "Continental Breakfast" at the Meredith Rosen Gallery in New York. The chair is designed to represent a modern object conceived as the perfect seat for a controversial human meal, where the meal is a sexual act and the "food" is the woman, suddenly transformed into an object. The artist said the Continental Breakfast Chair stages an act of submission, where a woman becomes the symbol of passive submission, and the eater is the dominant figure. The chair takes aesthetic influence from airline seats, hospital architecture, and hotel design, and the sculptures express a hyper-functionality inaccessible to human use.
