Exploring the plot of The Chair Company 

The Chair Company is a quirky, darkly comedic series created by Tim Robinson of I Think You Should Leave and Zach Kanin. It stars Robinson as William Ronald Trosper, a project manager at a property development firm, who becomes obsessively convinced that a chair manufacturing company, Tecca, is part of a bizarre conspiracy. His investigation takes him through shadowy parking lots, seedy bars, and peculiar acting classes, highlighting the absurd lengths Trosper will go to uncover the truth. 

Alongside him, his wife Barb, played by Lake Bell, tries to manage the domestic chaos while their children, portrayed by Sophia Lillis and Will Price, navigate their own lives amid Trosper’s obsession. Joseph Tudisco appears as Mike Santini, a security guard who aids Trosper in tracking the mysterious activities linked to Tecca. 

Lou Diamond Phillips recurs as Jeff Levjman, the enigmatic CEO of Trosper’s firm Fisher Robay, adding another layer of intrigue and corporate tension. The series blends offbeat humor with surreal mystery, turning the seemingly mundane world of office furniture into a twisted labyrinth of paranoia, curiosity, and eccentric adventure.
