Width: 45 cm Depth: 38 cm Height: 75 cm Seat height: 44 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed chair was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who led the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. For a long time, it was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and 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 total freedom of movement around a table or desk. A product 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.
