For purposes of this conversation, it doesn't matter if the chair is occupied or not. It's true that a single chair is a small contributor to the ambient sound of the room overall, but, if you're sitting in it, you have surfaces which are very reflective at high frequencies very near your ears. As I wrote previously, this may or may not bother the chair's occupant. Some folks' hearing is down 15-20 dB at 10 KHz, so they might appreciate a little extra reflection. :)With regard to seating in concert halls, you'll often/usually see chairs which are "plush", even on the bottom side of the seat. This is intended to simulate an occupied seat even when it's not occupied, so as to maintain a reasonably consistent reverberant sound field whether the room is 1/4 full or full.
