Answer: because the chairs are made from the queen’s hair.

Because of his size, Gulliver is able to use many of the discarded things of the King and Queen of Brobdingnag. Gulliver collects the hairs that drop from the King's shave and makes himself a comb. He also uses some of the Queen's hair to make some chairs. He refuses to use them, however, out of respect for her, and decides instead to give them to the Queen as curiosities.

He refuses to sit on the chair because it was made from the queen's hair and he does not want to place a dishonorable part of his body on it.
