This light blue wooden school chair adds a fresh and graphic touch, ideal for a contemporary ambiance. Its measured size and classic height seat make it a piece that easily fits around a dining table, in a bedroom, or near a desk. The painted wood beautifully pairs with natural materials, such as linen, rattan, or a raw wood tray. We love its vintage, simple, and straightforward look, which allows it to find its place in both a polished interior and a more relaxed decor. Placed near a desk with a few books, it creates a stylish work corner. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a damaged backrest. 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 chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for those who led the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. 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 to become an everyday 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 solidity, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
