With its contemporary line, this vintage stool in light wood and chrome adds a sharp and graphic touch to the home. The wooden seat and chrome structure create a simple duo that is easy to pair with a dining table, a desk, or a dressing area. Its compact size, both wide and low, allows it to be used as an extra seat or as a support near a sofa. The light wood and gray tones naturally match linen, brushed metal, or older pieces. In an entryway, it can hold a bag while you put on your shoes, or find its place next to a lamp and a few magazines. Width: 60 cm Depth: 60 cm Height: 45 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest type of seating 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 ease. 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.
