With its green velvet and steel structure, this second-hand folding chair adds a contemporary and refined touch to an interior. Its supportive seat height provides appreciated comfort around a table, while remaining easy to fold away when space needs to be freed up. The metal finish emphasizes its presence with subtlety, while the fabric softens the overall look and gives it a neat appearance. Made in France, it is suitable for both a dining room and a side office. When set up next to a light wood table, it willingly accompanies a meal and a few notebooks placed nearby. Width: 42 cm Depth: 33 cm Height: 77 cm Seat height: 42 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the one leading the assembly: the “president” [from 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 did not become democratic until the 18th century, becoming an everyday object. It is distinguished from the 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.
