Preferably the singular form, but if plural is included that's fine too.

All answerers above are right. This sounds impossible, but it´s true. No need for any thumbs down. It´s a nice example of different linguistic usage in Germany, and Austria - nothing serious. Even in some regions of Southern Germany people prefer to say "Sessel" instead of "Stuhl". In the northern parts of the country there is a strict distinction between Stuhl/chair, and Sessel/seat. And "stool" is "Stuhl", too, everywhere - as long as not the piece of furniture is meant. That would be a "Hocker", where I am at home, but a "Schemel" somewhere else.

Der Sessel
P.S. I just double checked with my husband who is Austrian and obviously has been speaking German since he could talk. Der Sessel is correct. Der Stuhl is another word you could use but, literally means stool and you asked for a chair. Stühle is stools. Sessel is a chair.
