This pair of light blue formica chairs charms with its contemporary presence and smooth finish, while adding a fresh touch to a second-hand interior. The seats fit around a kitchen table or accompany a desk, with a comfortable seat height for everyday use. Their lightweight structure makes it easy to move them from one room to another, while the formica emphasizes a sober aesthetic that easily pairs with wood, metal, or neutral shades. In a kitchen or dining room, they readily welcome an impromptu lunch, a stack of books, or a glass vase placed on the neighboring table. Width: 35 cm Depth: 27 cm Height: 77 cm Seat height: 43 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 leader of the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. 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 an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
