Width: 38 cm Depth: 38 cm Height: 81 cm Seat height: 45 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting in a chair with a backrest 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 a symbol of prestige in contrast to the benches and stools of the people, 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, a structure designed to provide complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and strength, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
