Situation: I am sitting in a brown chair and I can see only one red chair in front of me.
Alternative situations: I am sitting on the light brown chair with one leg touching the floor while reading a book, a red chair can be seen in front of me. I am sitting on the brown chair facing the red chair in front of me browsing the internet on my tablet sitting on my lap in front of me.
Question: What is closer to me between the bench and the chair in my 12 o'clock direction?
