This second-hand caned office chair charms with its light wooden structure and contemporary presence, both simple and refined. Its appropriately high seat and folding format make it an elegant ally for a workspace, a guest room, or an office, where it can be deployed as needed and then easily stored away. The caning adds a textured note that interacts with a wooden desk, an adjustable lamp, or several folders placed nearby. Carefully sourced, it combines visual lightness with functional everyday use. Positioned in front of a matching desk, it readily accommodates a notebook, a laptop, and a cup of coffee during a work session. Width: 43 cm Depth: 40 cm Height: 82 cm Seat height: 45 cm A little 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 common people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become 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.
