This second-hand bistro chair made of wood, in a dark wood tone, is charming with the simplicity of its slatted backrest and its red seat, which creates a sharp and refined contrast. Its low seat invites leisurely meals, while its measured proportions allow it to fit around a table without overwhelming the overall look. The wood interacts with the faux leather in a contemporary spirit, easy to pair with a solid wood table or mismatched seating. Sourced from a flea market, it complements a long coffee, a stoneware cup, and an open book upon returning from the market. Sold in pairs, 1 lot available. Width: 39 cm Depth: 35 cm Height: 82 cm Seat height: 36.5 cm Seat width: 36 cm Seat depth: 36 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 who presided over the assembly: the "president" [from 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 popular in the 18th century, transforming into a daily object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to provide complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
