Length: 33 cm Width: 33 cm Height: 81 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 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 a feat 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 ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
