For a long time, the chair was a symbol of prestige in contrast to the benches and stools of the common people, only becoming 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 offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from beautifully carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
