This vintage chair with a chrome frame charms with its sleek design, highlighted by a black faux leather backrest and a green seat. Its compact size and classic seat height make it easy to place around a dining table, in an office, or as extra seating in a living room. The contrast between chrome, faux leather, and the green hue creates a simple yet contemporary ensemble that is very easy to pair. It naturally finds its place in a contemporary interior, alongside light woods, a lacquered table, or other vintage seating. Around a wooden tabletop, it will gladly accompany a desk or a dining table with simple lines. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: light signs of use consistent with its age. Width: 39 cm Depth: 39 cm Height: 79 cm Seat height: 45 cm A little history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting in a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the person 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 design meant to provide total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
