With its chrome frame and black faux leather backrest, this vintage chair features a simple line, ideal for a contemporary interior. Its textured seat adds a touch of contrast and visual softness, while its compact size allows it to fit around a dining table or in front of a desk. The seat height offers comfort suitable for both meals and work moments, and its silhouette remains easy to integrate into a living space. It works well alone or in pairs with a wooden table, a mineral floor, or some metal accessories. Around a light table, it willingly accompanies white tableware and a minimalist design desk lamp. Width: 39 cm Depth: 39 cm Height: 79 cm Seat height: 45 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a back was a rare privilege, reserved for the leader of the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to provide complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from intricately carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
