The term "captain chair" is often used to describe a type of chair usually placed at the head of a conference or dining table. However, there are several synonyms used to refer to the same piece of furniture. The most popular synonym is "armchair" or "captain's armchair" which often have upholstered armrests for added comfort. Other synonyms include "high-backed chair", "throne chair", "executive chair", and "director's chair". These chairs often showcase a more regal design with ornate detailing and premium materials. Whatever the term is used, the essence remains the same, a comfortable, supportive and prestigious chair that is usually reserved for the most important person at the table.
