This pair of vintage chairs captivates with the combination of dark wood and red boucle fabric, in a contemporary style that is easy to integrate around a table. Their enveloping seat and backrest create a soft presence, while the wooden structure adds a more understated and warm touch. Sourced second-hand, they are suitable for both a dining room and a workspace, where they introduce a textile element without weighing down the overall look. The proportions of the seat provide good everyday comfort, with a height suitable for both meals and working moments. Placed around a light wood table and accompanied by white tableware, they create a very elegant ensemble. Width: 45 cm Depth: 45 cm Height: 80 cm Seat height: 43 cm Seat width: 40 cm Seat depth: 40 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege reserved for the person leading the assembly: the "president" [from Latin praesidere, to sit before]. For a long time, it was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and the chair did not become widespread until the 18th century, evolving into an everyday object. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to allow 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.
