This set of four dark wood chairs with green and beige fabric adds a contemporary and refined touch around a table. Their wooden structure provides a stable seat, while the fabric cushion offers pleasant comfort for both meals and extended breaks. In a dining room, they create a harmonious and balanced set, easily paired with a light wood, metal table, or more minimalist furniture. Sourced second-hand, they combine warm material and discreet presence, with a style that suits both a sober interior and a more welcoming atmosphere. Arranged around a family table, they willingly accompany a prolonged dinner or a reading corner. Like any second-hand piece, it retains the memory of its past: a few traces of time.

For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. Resulting from a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
