Diameter: 30 cm Height: 46 cm A brief history of the stool As the oldest type of 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 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 ease. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it today embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing an extra seat that never clutters the view.
