With its simple silhouette and red color, this vintage wooden chair adds a vibrant and contemporary touch to the home. Its compact size allows it to easily fit around a table, in a bedroom, or near a desk. The seat, at a comfortable height, provides good support for both meal times and work moments. The wood and red shade create a graphic presence that is easy to pair with natural linen, a light tabletop, or other second-hand pieces. Tucked under a desk with an adjustable lamp and a few books, it creates a stylish studious corner. As a second-hand item, it bears the marks of its history: traces of time. Width: 38 cm Depth: 37 cm Height: 81 cm Seat height: 46 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the person leading the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. For a long time, the chair was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, becoming democratized only in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant pursuit between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
