With its black faux leather seat and steel structure, this contemporary second-hand stool presents a sleek look. Height adjustable, it effortlessly complements a counter or island, while providing a clean and stable seat. Its refined design blends well with dark wood, lacquered surfaces, or softer materials, in a kitchen with a modern layout, where it interacts with a tall steel table. In an entryway, next to a console, it welcomes a lamp and a catch-all as one puts on their shoes. Height: 63 cm Diameter: 34 cm A Brief History of the Stool The oldest seating option in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by the absence of a backrest and armrests. 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 an achievement of stability and lightness, designed to be slid under a table or moved with a simple gesture. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies the quintessential space-saving furniture today, offering additional seating that never clutters the view.
