For a long time, it was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people; the chair only became democratized in the 18th century, transforming into an everyday object. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to provide complete 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.
