The Houseplant Director’s Chair is a limited-edition furniture piece released in connection with Apple TV Plus series The Studio, created by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Produced by Rogen’s lifestyle brand Houseplant, the chair references classic on-set seating with a wood frame, canvas seat and backrest, and foldable construction intended for indoor use. Branding elements are kept minimal, with subtle markings that link the object to the series rather than overt graphics. The design aligns with traditional director’s chair proportions while presenting it as a collectible interior object.
The release coincides with the launch of The Studio, an Apple TV Plus comedy centered on the inner workings of a fictional Hollywood production company. The chair functions as a physical extension of the show’s creative world, translating a familiar film-set object into a consumer design item. Materials and construction prioritize durability and everyday usability while maintaining the recognizable director’s chair format.
