This trio of foldable chairs made of solid beech, with light wood, captivates with its geometric profile and contemporary look. Found second-hand, these Aldo Jacober chairs offer a graphic presence while remaining understated, with a comfortable seat and a backrest that draws a clean line. Their folding mechanism allows them to be opened during mealtime and then easily stored away when not in use. They complement both a wooden table and a more minimalist interior, whether in a dining room or a kitchen nook. Around an improvised lunch, they unfold to accommodate guests before sliding against a wall.

For a long time, it symbolized prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and it was not until the 18th century that the chair democratized and became 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 solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
