With its delicate sky blue, this wooden school chair brings a vintage touch full of freshness to a contemporary interior. Its compact size allows it to fit easily around a kitchen table, in an office, or as an extra chair in a bedroom. The seat height provides a comfortable posture for everyday use, while its simple silhouette gives it an easy presence to pair with light wood, white, or natural textiles. One can also imagine it slid up next to an antique desk, with a few notebooks, or used at the end of a dining table. A second-hand piece, 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 seat with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who presided over the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time, it was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and the chair did not become democratized until the 18th century to become an object of everyday life. 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 solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
