For a long time a symbol of prestige against the benches and stools of the people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It differs 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 evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
