Most natural and normal:  There aren't any chairs here.

Yes, but Portuguese isn't English, so the use of words is different! It doesn't matter what you say in Portuguese.

This is the usual way of saying that in English:

There aren't any chairs here.
_______________

In the singular it sounds more emphatic, like a reply to someone who asks you to sit, but there's no chair to sit on.

— Have a seat.
— But there isn't any chair here! OR But there's no chair here!
