With their black metal frame and textured red plastic speckled with black, this pair of vintage chairs creates a contemporary and graphic presence around the table. Their metal structure adds a bold note, while the plastic seat and backrest provide everyday comfort, whether in a dining room or a workspace. Their minimalist design easily complements a streamlined interior, with touches of wood or a more industrial vibe. They fit effortlessly around a table for daily meals and willingly accommodate a few books or a laptop in a work environment. Around a raw wood table, they create a clean ensemble, enhanced by white tableware and a tinted glass vase. Length: 40 cm Width: 40 cm Height: 84 cm Seat height: 45 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 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 did not become widespread until the 18th century, turning into an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a design intended to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
