The Big Chair
- Landmark
- Regional draw
- Thomasville
The Big Chair stands in downtown Thomasville as a landmark associated with the city’s furniture-making heritage.
Its oversized form makes it a recognizable outdoor stop when exploring the center of this North Carolina community.
View the monument from authorized public paths and use nearby crossings carefully. The photograph shows the chair and its landscaped base in 2016 rather than current planting or road conditions. This is a streetside landmark rather than an indoor museum, so a visit centers on the object and its setting. Do not climb the structure or enter landscaped areas that are not intended for access.
