Sitting down plays a large role in everybody’s life, just think about the amount of time you spend sitting down in an average day. In fact some recent estimates suggest that we spend over eight hours of each day sitting down. We sit when we eat, when we drive, when we are at work, when we watch television and the list goes on and on. So with all this time that an average human spends sitting there must be some pretty well known seats out there. Perhaps these seats could include some famous banquette seating which a king or queen dined from or maybe some fworld known booth seating in a fifties style café that James Dean or Marilyn Monroe sat in. These are arguably some very famous seats however it would appear that there are some even more famous seats out their.
