With its water green seat and beige metal legs, this metal stool features a contemporary line that is easy to match. Its circular silhouette and seat height make it an elegant accent seat, able to fit around a high table, in a kitchen, or near a desk. The metal gives it a sober presence, while the water green and beige duo softens the overall look with a very gentle touch. It gladly accommodates a stack of books, a nearby floor lamp, or a ceramic vase in a corner of the room. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of wear. Height: 44 cm Diameter: 31 cm A brief history of the stool As the oldest seat 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 seat for the common 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 ease. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, providing an additional seat that never clutters the view.
