This contemporary chair combines a dark brown plastic frame with a beige fabric seat and backrest, accented with small touches of color for a measured look. The contrast between the shell and the textile creates a second-hand seat with a sober vocabulary, easy to integrate into a dining room or a workspace. Its thoughtfully designed height provides a comfortable seating experience, while the backrest gently supports prolonged breaks. It naturally pairs with a light wood table, a minimalist desk, or accessories in muted tones. Around a table set with cream dinnerware and a bouquet of dried flowers, it adds a refined touch. As a second-hand item, it carries the memory of its past: some traces of time. Width: 56 cm Depth: 51 cm Height: 76 cm Seat height: 50 cm Seat width: 49 cm Seat depth: 37 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 presiding figure 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 design intended 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.
