These solid wood folding chairs in a light wood tone feature a simple and refined seating design, in a contemporary style that is easy to pair. Their slatted seat and backrest, complemented by integrated armrests, provide comfortable support around a table. Second-hand, this set of four chairs from the seventies to eighties folds for easy storage after use. The varnished wood adds a clean finish and pairs well with a linen tablecloth, clear glasses, or a more natural decor. Opened for a garden lunch or in a sunlit room, they readily accommodate ceramic tableware and a few wildflowers. Like any vintage furniture, it bears the memory of its past: a few marks of time and light traces of wear. Width: 60 cm Depth: 45 cm Height: 78 cm Seat height: 45 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one leading the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, meaning 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 eighteenth century, evolving into 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. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
