With their folding line and regular caning, these three vintage chairs add a contemporary and refined touch around the table. Their dark-stained wooden structure, highlighted by a bright caning, creates a cane chair with a simple design, easy to match in both a kitchen and a dining room. Fully foldable, they store effortlessly and naturally find their place in small spaces or to complement a dining area. Their measured format and classic seat height offer comfortable daily use. Around a light wood table, they will gladly welcome a linen tablecloth and some stoneware glasses. Width: 42 cm Depth: 44 cm Height: 82 cm Seat height: 44 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one leading the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the people, the chair did not become democratized until the 18th century, becoming an everyday object. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total 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.
