This yellow formica stool, highlighted by chrome, adds a vintage touch to a contemporary interior. Its low and stable seat comfortably accompanies a counter, a side desk, or a high table without weighing down the space. The combination of formica and metal creates a simple piece, true to the aesthetics of the 1970s, that fits well in both a kitchen and a coffee corner. This second-hand stool is suited for everyday use, with a clear and measured presence. Tucked under a work surface and paired with a few colored glass cups, it creates a graphic and very precise decor.

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 single gesture. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, providing an extra seat that never clutters the view.
