A Google Images search for “office chair” shows increasingly extravagant seating, including a Grim Reaper throne, a royal armchair, a gaming chair, and a luxurious executive chair. The joke is that searching for an ordinary office chair produces absurdly grand and expensive options, making the chairs look like seats for kings—or even Death himself. It can be sent as a reaction to over-the-top luxury, excessive spending, or an unexpectedly dramatic solution to a mundane problem.
