I think someone mistook "private" for "secret" somewhere along the way
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
Nah that's the triple HJ chair

These conversations would just go around in a circle.

A love seat with a seat for a chaperone?

three can keep a secret if two of them are dead

I think it would be pretty non-secret obvious if three people were sitting in the secret discussions chair.
WitchIrkalla
Chair designed for three friends to share a link cable.
AWomanNamedJunior
Perfect for a family of 3 to sit in their phone together

It's a conversation chai. Nothing secret about it. Bullshit title

You think those three sitting in the SECRET TELLING CHAIR are up to something?

At the gentlemen's clubs where they had this kind of stuff everyone knew and nobody cared.

That's not suspicious at all...

No, how could they be? They're all clearly looking in different directions!
PosthumousExile
Yeah, seems like they keep arguing too, I guess they don't see eye to eye.
Nandortherelentless
Looks like a smoke circle waiting to happen, complete with an ashtray mounted in the center.

It'd work a lot better without the pole in the middle.

It’s a chaperone chair for two young people courting and one elder for respectability
Futchm
But two can keep a secret if one of them is dead
UsuallyARabbit
No. It was designed to share a single electric lamp for reading.

How is it different than just three chairs next to each other?

Let's all sit in the Absinthe threesome chair.

Ah, it makes sense now. Now I'd buy it for a bong.

Ok, so this is actually a favorite topic of mine. This kind of chair likely got its start in the French salons under Napoleon, and at that time were used for gossip. But they actually became popular for use as courtship chairs, during the Victorian era and America's guilded age. Designed so a couple and their chaperone could all see one another while being an "appropriate" distance apart. There were other kinds of courtship furniture too. 1/2
BobberAnne
A couple could graduate to an S-shaped chair for just two people, with a chaperone still in the room but not as close. (some people only had the s-chair, while wealthier families who hosted regular social gatherings would often have both) Eventually, usually once betrothed, though sometimes reserved for newlyweds, a couple could be trusted to sit on a loveseat. Other variations also existed. Some more common, like the all-the-way-around bourne setee. Others rarer, like the confidant couch (2/3)
BobberAnne
(or the wingman couch, as I like to call it) Which was a loveseat with a chaperone chair attached at one or both ends, so that a lady's made, governess, or valet could chaperone/wingman the couple.
eadanke
So it's not for sharing a hookah?
UsuallyARabbit
It's for sharing an electric light.
C141Clay
That is it exactly.
JamieTaco
Whom is this device keeping a secret from?

Glad it’s not for four people.

SheepySleepySmuggler
So it's actually a murder chair?
geoffreyfourmyle
Maybe a very elegant group murder chair, if three people are trying to all die at the same time?
SheepySleepySmuggler
I assumed one would survive. I mean what's the point of killing people to keep something secret if everyone is dead? Unless you're some sort of secrecy perfectionist who doesn't trust themselves not to spill the tea...
GeneralWho
It's a secret to everybody.
himisti
So a secret society can only have up to two people? That sounds boring.
