director's chair
Set boss's throne
A director's chair is a lightweight folding chair with a canvas seat and back stretched between wooden or metal X-shaped legs.
The design allows easy transport and setup on film sets, where directors traditionally sit.
The back panel often displays a name or title: Her name was stitched across the director's chair.
The chair has become an icon of filmmaking authority.
