The salmon pink velvet of this chair immediately sets the tone, with a graphic softness accentuated by its brass structure. Sourced for a contemporary ambiance, it adds a muted note without weighing down the space, while its pastel pink velvet fabric backrest beautifully softens the overall look. Foldable, it is easily stored after meals or moved from one room to another as needed, and its classic height seat pairs readily with a dining table or a desk. Its style matches well with both light wood and more subdued materials. Around a dressed table, with white dinnerware and a bouquet of fresh flowers, it creates a delicate and current scene. Width: 42 cm Depth: 45 cm Height: 79 cm Seat height: 43 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a seat with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who chaired the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time, it symbolized 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 is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, with a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest for lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
