Sourced from vintage markets, they blend material and graphics with a discreet accuracy, while offering comfortable seating for everyday use. Around a light wood table or by a desk, they add an elegant textile touch. Like any second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of age. Width: 43 cm Depth: 45 cm Height: 80 cm Seat height: 42 cm Seat width: 43 cm Seat depth: 45 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 Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time, it symbolized prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and the chair only became widespread in the 18th century, turning into 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 solidity, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
