19 Obscure and Unsettling Images Of Chairs Underwater

You probably didn’t assume that an image of a chair underwater could cast such a spell of wonder on you. You were wrong. Very wrong. There’s something eerily fascinating about feasting your eyes upon a chair that’s been put to rest underwater. Maybe part of it is you’re prone to naturally wondering how that chair ended up there in the first place? We could just be witnessing the preeminent boom of a new art form altogether.

1. “Out pondering life.”

Partially submerged in water under a bridge, a blue plastic chair is surrounded by large rocks. Three pillars of the bridge are reflected in the water, creating a symmetrical pattern. The scene evokes an unusual and serene atmosphere.

You’ve got to wonder how this poor little dude ended up there floating out in an abyss of misery. Those rocks by the shore don’t look particularly inviting either.

2. “Found one chilling in Amsterdam.”

View from above of two people standing on a wooden bridge over a pond with green foliage and a willow tree hanging over the water. The murky water reflects the sky and trees, and a fish is faintly visible below the surface.

Clearly someone is messing with all of us. It looks like somebody probably just got carried away and tossed that orange chair with a reckless abandon.

3. “Found with my underwater drone.”

A plastic chair lies partially buried and upside down on the muddy bottom of a greenish, murky body of water. Algae and small aquatic plants are growing on the surface and surrounding areas. Bubbles and particles float in the water, creating a slightly cloudy environment.

“This actually looks awesome and would make for a very cool painting.” – u/mzjksufoy

4. “He is where he belongs.”

A brick building with a large window is partially submerged in water, indicating severe flooding. A chair and debris are visible underwater near the building, and some green plants float on the water's surface. Stone steps lead to the water's edge.

“Nice moat bro.” – u/_confettil

“That should be drained as soon as possible or that building is going to have structural issues.” – u/krutonium

5. “Hanging with the wildlife.”

A group of turtles swim in a greenish pond near a small island covered with vegetation. Some turtles are closer to the edge of the water, while others are swimming further away. A partially visible concrete structure extends into the water on the right.

“It’s the turtles chair now.” – u/devinssss

“I’ll sleep fine tonight knowing those turtles can sit.” – u/rairock

6. “Chair at the San Antonio Riverwalk.”

A partially submerged folding chair is visible underwater against a brick wall. Floating leaves are dispersed across the water's surface, and reflections of nearby trees are faintly seen. A section of the stone ledge is present in the foreground.

“I’m not an expert in hydrophysics, but I don’t think the river is supposed to be there.” – u/g_arthur10

7. “Yes, I sat.”

A solitary folding chair is partially submerged in shallow water near the shore on a cloudy day. The sandy beach and grassy dunes are visible in the background under an overcast sky.
u/dexter-knu/via reddit.com

“A full 10/10 sitting location right there.” – u/mx0109

8. “If you zoom in there’s also an underwater wheelchair.”

A canal with calm water running through an urban area. Two shopping carts are partially submerged near the stony edge of the canal. Trees line both sides of the canal, and buildings are visible in the background under a cloudy sky.

“I love that flying bird.” – u/outfoxingthefoxes

9. “Caught this chair trying to fly under the radar.”

A calm pond with clear, reflective water showing the sky and bare tree branches mirrored on the surface. Dry grasses and branches protrude from the edges, creating a natural, serene atmosphere.
u/hi_im_bad_at_reddit/via reddit.com

That poor wandering soul. You’ve just got to wonder where it all might’ve gone wrong. To end up in the murky swamp like this chair did though hints at no light backstory.

10. “Today in Vancouver, B.C.”

A single black sandal lies submerged in clear water among rocks and pebbles. The sandal is partially visible, resting against the stones at the bottom of the shallow water.

“In the wild. Very nice.” – u/icarus_falling

“Lucky enough to have the rock support too.” – u/stock_information520

11. “Just spotted a truly wild one.”

A dog swims in a narrow creek surrounded by grass and bushes, with only its head and part of its back visible above the water. The scene is set outdoors on a cloudy day.

“I thought this was a frog having a real tough day for a second.” – u/dremliwolq

12. “Tough waters for a backless chair.”

A rusted, overturned bike lies partially submerged in a flowing stream. The stream is bordered by dry, tall grasses on one side and a concrete edge on the other. The scene suggests neglect and abandonment.
u/oct8vius/via reddit.com

Okay, seriously though. Those are some choppy waters we’re talking about here. That can’t have been a relaxing trip down the way. No, not at all.

13. “Oh, that looks plain old cold out there.”

A jacuzzi with partially submerged red patio chairs in icy water. Snow lightly covers the surrounding concrete and plants around the jacuzzi, suggesting a cold and snowy environment. The jacuzzi's steps and metal handrail are also slightly snow-covered.
u/yakubs1/via reddit.com

There’s no telling what kind of trouble can arise around a snowy pool and/or hot tub. There’s something about the pool and/or hot tub when there’s snow around that just awakens that childlike enthusiasm like none other.

14. “Talk about a shady hotel in Lafayette.”

A nighttime view of an outdoor swimming pool with a metal chair submerged underwater. The pool is surrounded by brick coping, a tall black iron fence, and several empty lounge chairs. The water shows reflections of nearby lights.
u/isaiahd/via reddit.com

Not every pool is going to benefit from the same level of attentive care provided by the hotel staff. Clearly things have spiraled a bit out of control at the Lafayette Hotel. Maybe they turned over a new leaf though.

15.

A whimsical outdoor setting features a small round table and two chairs partially submerged in a shallow stream. On the table are a green glass bottle, a small vase with pink flowers, and a glass. Overhanging branches provide dappled shade.

“The framing is truly picturesque.” – u/baconator-019

16. “Just enjoying the majestic sunset.”

A serene sunset reflects on a calm lake with silhouetted tree branches in the foreground. A small, half-submerged chair near the water's edge adds a mysterious touch to the tranquil scene. Distant hills and a building are visible on the horizon.
u/time4pizza/via reddit.com

Clearly, someone was completely over the whole chill by a sunset moment. They up and left what could very well be a perfectly proper chair right there.

17. “The backstory. We simply must have it.”

A gray metal chair is partially submerged in muddy water among leafless, tangled trees. The surrounding area is wet, with tree trunks and vegetation visible, indicating a marshy or flooded environment.
u/working_title85/via reddit.com

There’s something unshakably eerie about the lighting with this one. It looks like these chairs were abandoned in a hurry. Let’s get the origin story as soon as possible.

18. “That one chair is off on an island for misfit toys.”

Two overturned wicker chairs partially submerged in floodwater. In the background, two wooden poles pierce the water's surface. The gray water reflects the overcast sky, creating a somber and tranquil scene.
u/w_framew/via reddit.com

It almost looks like the two chairs are sparring, and then the other chair is some kind of Roman Emperor figure who is waiting to give the thumbs up or thumbs down. An underwater colosseum of sorts, clearly.

19. “This actually looks quite serene with the right footwear, or lack thereof.”

A serene lakeside scene with a partially submerged bench near the shore. Tall trees line the background under a cloudy sky, casting reflections on the calm water. The bench appears to be in the water, close to a concrete edge of the lake.

You could get some serious journaling done here. You already know there are the sounds of flocks of birds flying on by, and probably and eagle or two posted up in one of those trees.
