A chair can reveal much about the person who made or bought it. By looking at it, you can guess their origins, personality, tastes, financial or social standing, and even their profession. A chair serves multiple purposes- a place to sit, relax, chat with friends, eat, or work on your computer. “A seat with a back, intended for one person.” This means a chair is an individual seat for one person only. It’s not a sofa where you can share space with others. Even if you’re sitting next to others, a chair is designed to provide you with space. In addition, a chair offers support. You can lean on it without worrying about it wobbling or tipping over. For us, each chair represents a geographical border, a country, a culture, and a language. When you move to a new place, your chair may break, but you can take a piece of it and attach it to your new chair. You can also hold the legs of all the chairs to secure them. It’s essential to take a break and enjoy the new culture. The chair glued together with other chairs is a beautiful and unique creation. It reminds you of all the chairs that went into making it, but it’s not one of them. Although it’s not meant for sitting, or if it is, it’s not stable. So be careful not to fall.
