Chair: A Compendium

Do all objects inherently have meaning? And does this meaning always remain constant? The purpose of a chair is, arguably, to be sat on: to have four legs, to be stable enough to support one’s weight, etc., etc. But what happens once this purpose is removed? When a chair can no longer perform its sworn solemn duty of chair-ness, is it even a chair anymore? When it is removed from its intended context — where its presence is necessary, expected, even welcomed — the chair becomes a nonsensical, absurd abstraction of itself.
