The chair, an everyday object central to almost everyone’s life. We sit to relax, we sit to eat, we sit to work, while traveling, we study on a chair, we fish on a chair and so much more.
 An ode to the chair, not the iconic collector’s item, the “design classic,” the aesthetically refined highlight but the “ordinary” chair. An old, used chair whose visible wear and tear poignantly reveals the intimate relationship with its owner in all its ordinariness.

The work of Maurice van Tellingen is the result of careful observation and loving attention. The objects are not only beautifully made, but the amazement and almost child-like surprise they express is equally important. Looking at the works means experiencing the impressions, with the atmosphere and feelings of the frozen moment. They are poetic images that require little explanation or analysis.
