This project started by accident. In 2015, I was looking for chairs to use in my new apartment in London, ON. While still living in Chesley, ON my mom drove by a second-hand store known as The Sleep Shop. Outside, there was an old chair with a license plate on it and I jokingly said I would take that chair.

Then when I moved to London and started getting out and about more, I began to notice chairs everywhere, especially at concert venues, the museum and art galleries. It was hard not to take pictures of them.

The project culminated in 2020, ironically when people were not really allowed to sit anywhere (unless it was six feet apart). I originally would have ended this book in March 2020 because that's when the last photo was taken prior to COVID-19. However, I read that Museum London had a new exhibit called "Sit On It!" I knew right away that I had to include these chairs in the series.

I hope that you enjoy this book and that it causes you to take a closer look at what's around you because you never know what you might see. (Like a lady walking around in an inflatable baby costume.)
