This set of six red and yellow metal chairs brings a contemporary and graphic touch around the table. Originating from a previous school use, they charm with their straightforward design and the contrast of their colors, immediately enlivening a dining room or workspace. Their seats comfortably accommodate daily meals, while their backs support long moments spent at the table. The entire set easily fits around a wooden platter, a metal table, or a desk with a clean design. Arranged in pairs or in alignment, they create a vibrant and structured scene. As second-hand pieces, they carry the memory of their past: a few traces of time.

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