Chair, also known as the Big Chair, is a public artwork designed as an advertisement by Bassett Furniture, located at the intersection of Martin Luther King Avenue and V Street S.E., in the Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, D.C., United States. 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.
