Second-hand, it easily fits into a kitchen or under a countertop, where its classic seat height offers a comfortable support for a quick coffee or snack. Around a high table, it gladly accommodates a notebook, a glass, and a small plant perched on the edge.

In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seating of the people, while among the nobility, the "right to the stool" became a highly codified court privilege, allowing ladies to sit in the presence of the king. Its structure, resting on three or four legs, is a feat of stability and lightness, designed to be slid under a table or moved with a gesture. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it now embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
