This second-hand wooden and fabric chair is appealing due to the subtle harmony between its beige structure and its mustard yellow seat. The backrest is distinguished by a patterned fabric featuring the portrait of a woman, a singular detail that gives it a contemporary and graphic look. Its wide and deep seat offers comfortable seating around a dining table, while its high back provides good support for the back. It easily pairs with dark wood, linen, or softly toned vintage pieces. In an entryway, it fits well next to a wall mirror and a walnut console, where its pattern becomes the focal point of the room. Width: 31 cm Depth: 37 cm Height: 95 cm Seat height: 45 cm Seat width: 47 cm Seat depth: 45 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting in a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who led 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, becoming 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 sturdiness, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
