This pair of light blue Formica chairs brings a contemporary touch full of freshness around the table. Their simple lines and classic seat height give them an easy look to integrate into a kitchen, dining area, or office, while the Formica remains a practical material for everyday use. With their compact format and measured seat width, they slip effortlessly into a small space and happily accompany a wooden table or a more graphic interior. At a flea market, these second-hand chairs charm with their soft tone and clean silhouette. Around a white table, with a discreet pendant light and a few colorful glasses, they create a fresh decor. As second-hand pieces, they bear the marks of their history: the legs are oxidized and sold as is. Height: 77 cm Seat height: 42 cm Seat width: 35 cm Seat depth: 30 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who presided over the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. 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 the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed 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.
