This pair of iconic transparent smoked plastic chairs makes a contemporary statement while allowing light to circulate around them. Their smooth material and smoky hue create a discreet yet clear presence, perfect for a dining table or in a minimalist office. The comfortable seat height caters to everyday use, while the backrest and monobloc structure form a simple line that easily complements wood, metal, or a more mineral tabletop. These second-hand chairs add a graphic accent without overwhelming the room. Around a white table, they hold notebooks, a glass of water, and a ceramic vase for a simple and neat scene. Width: 39 cm Depth: 40 cm Height: 95 cm Seat height: 48 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege reserved for the one leading the assembly: the "president" [from Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. 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, evolving into an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a design meant to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. Resulting from a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
