"From Ducati 996 SPS Italy to Honda Goldwing Japan, the seat takes us on a journey through time and space. In A Studio in Montparnasse, c1926, we see artists finding inspiration while perched on their seats. CRW Nevinson captures the essence of creativity in this captivating scene. Eleanor Rigby's statue reminds us of the power of music as she sits silently, immortalized by Tommy Steele. Meanwhile, Rosa Parks' courageous act of defiance on that Montgomery bus in 1956 shows how a simple they are become a symbol of resistance and change. At Blenheim Palace in England, grandeur meets comfort as visitors relax on plush seats amidst opulent surroundings. Yale University's prestigious halls also offer seats for eager minds to expand their knowledge. The Ford Model A Roadster takes us back to an era where driving was an adventure; its worn leather seat holds stories from countless road trips. And within Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, St Peter's statue watches over worshippers from his sacred seat. Georgia O'Keeffe found solace and inspiration in the vast landscapes surrounding her - her canvas becoming her ultimate seat of expression. The Zen priest Ikkyu Osho meditates upon his cushioned seat, seeking enlightenment beyond worldly distractions. Lastly, the muscles used in cycling remind us that every athlete relies not only on strength but also on finding balance upon their saddle-like seats throughout history. "
