Is that a reference to Use of Weapons or Excession?

I read both of these books and its worrying that I have no idea what this is a reference to :(

I worry about my memory

On the contrary, rejoice that you can experience them again!

In one book, there is an outside context problem.

In another, a chair is used as a weapon.

I don't see the link between the chair and OCP.

I got the Use of Weapons reference.

What shade of white is that chair? Bone you say?

That chair seems a bit bare bones. It could use a bit upholstering, maybe something made with leather.
