With its black metal structure and metal slats, this second-hand chair has a contemporary, understated, and graphic appearance. The seat is suitable for a dining table, a desk, or an entryway, where its controlled size allows it to be placed without overpowering the space. The metal gives it a clean and durable look, while the black color highlights a clear presence that is easy to pair with wood, leather, or light textiles. In a kitchen, it easily complements a weathered wooden table and some dishware, creating a dining corner with a vintage style. Width: 37 cm Depth: 37 cm Height: 80 cm Seat height: 40 cm Seat depth: 30 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege reserved for the one leading 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 differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
