Discover this set of four black faux leather chairs with stained beech wood, featuring a contemporary design infused with Scandinavian spirit. Their faux leather seating offers a measured comfort, while the beech wood legs provide a warm presence and a beautiful visual hold. Each chair easily integrates around a dining table, in an open kitchen or a dining room, where the contrast between black and dark wood creates a simple and refined ensemble. Sourced from second-hand, they combine easy-care materials with a polished look. Around a light wood table, they gladly welcome a dinner with friends, accompanied by white dishes and a few clear glasses. Length: 45 cm Width: 55 cm Height: 85 cm Seat height: 45 cm Seat width: 45 cm Seat depth: 42 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the one 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 complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. A 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.
