Height: 85 cm Diameter: 34 cm Seat height: 47 cm A Brief History of the Chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege reserved for the leader of 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 did not become democratized until the 18th century, turning into an everyday object. It differs from an 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 sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
