Width: 48.5 cm Depth: 42 cm Height: 70 cm Seat height: 43 cm Seat depth: 38.5 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat 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, it was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and 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 design meant to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
