Height: 47 cm Diameter: 33 cm A little history of the stool As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by its lack of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the people, while in 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 additional seat that never clutters the view.
