This pair of second-hand chairs forms a set with a contemporary design, featuring a light wooden structure and a red leatherette seat that adds a graphic touch. The wood provides a warm feel, while the smooth upholstery emphasizes a sober and clean look around the table. Their seat height and balanced seat format make them suitable for both a dining room and a corner office. They easily pair with a patinated wooden table, understated ceramics, or a few tinted glass objects. Placed around a dining table and accompanied by transparent glasses, they create an elegant and easily assembled scene for everyday use. Height: 83 cm Seat height: 46 cm Seat width: 46 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 presiding over the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time, the chair symbolized prestige in contrast to the benches and stools of the common people, becoming democratized only in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, with 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 intricately carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
