With its iconic curve, this bent birch stool in a light wood tone embodies the spirit with contemporary sobriety. Second-hand, it attracts with its robust and stable structure, designed to serve as a stool, a small side table, a bedside table, or a plant stand. Its height allows it to accompany a sofa or the foot of a bed without weighing down the room, while providing a secure base for a book, a lamp, or a ceramic pot. In a living room, it happily accommodates an open book and a ceramic cup. Height: 45 cm Diameter: 35 cm A brief history of the stool 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 common 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 gesture. Whether made of rough wood or in an industrial style, it today embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing a supplemental seat that never clutters the view.
