Width: 42 cm Depth: 42 cm Height: 86 cm Seat height: 45 cm Seat width: 42 cm Seat depth: 42 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 before]. Long 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 a daily object. It is distinguished from the 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 sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
