For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair was not democratized until the 18th century, becoming an everyday object. It is distinguished from an 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 intricately carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
