Between vintage countryside and brutalist spirit, this second-hand solid wood stool in a light wood shade imposes a very appropriate sobriety. Its height makes it a natural extra seat, in a living room or near a table, without occupying more space than necessary on the floor. The light wood warms up a contemporary interior and pairs well with linen, matte ceramics, or raw materials. A thrifted piece, it brings a discreet and refined touch, easy to integrate without weighing down the overall look. In an entryway, it gladly accommodates a ceramic catch-all and a pair of ankle boots. Length: 27 cm Width: 27 cm Height: 45 cm A Brief History of the Stool The oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by its lack of backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the people, while among the nobility, the "right to a 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 a rustic wooden piece or industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering extra seating that never clutters the eye.
