Sculptural chair features hinged house shaped hood attached to the backrest, created to be used as a privacy shelter.

The House Sitter Chair by Michael Jantzen is a conceptual and functional art piece designed to explore themes of solitude, identity, and domesticity.

When seated, the person can pull the miniature house over their head, enclosing themselves in a symbolic dwelling.

Two cut-out “windows” in the house allow the sitter to peer outward while remaining hidden within.

Michael Jantzen invites you to sit inside the idea of a home, not just a chair.

With a hinged roof overhead, The House Sitter Chair lets you pull a house down over your head like a hood.

Made of painted wood, the chair features cut-out windows to peer through.

When seated inside, you are not just in a House chair, you become the inhabitant of a symbolic shelter.

There are no distractions here, just space to sit, observe, and feel enclosed.

The House Sitter Chair invites reflection on how environments shape human consciousness, especially in moments of isolation.
