This vintage Lafuma folding chair from the seventies captivates with its warm appearance and its combination of bronze-colored metal and original mustard striped and camel fabric. The metal structure, highlighted by golden screws, accompanies a seat and backrest designed for occasional use, in a contemporary spirit that remains very current. When folded, it can be easily stored against a wall, then take its place around a table in a kitchen or dining nook when hosting guests. In an entryway or a guest bedroom, it can also hold a basket, a folded garment, or a book placed on the seat.

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 to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total 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 witness to the history of comfort.
