A "Director's Chair" is a type of folding chair commonly used in film and theater productions. It is characterized by its tall back, armrests, and a canvas seat and back, often featuring the director's name or title printed on it. This chair allows directors to have a comfortable and elevated position while overseeing the production. The design of the director's chair dates back to ancient times, but it became popular in the early 20th century, particularly in Hollywood. It symbolizes authority and creativity in the film industry, often associated with notable figures like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese.
