For a long time, a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the people, the chair only became popular in the 18th century, evolving into an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, with a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
