With its duo of teal and white, this vintage wooden chair brings a refined country touch around a table or in a reading nook. Its newly upholstered patterned seat creates a delicate contrast with the painted structure, while its proportions allow it to easily slip into a kitchen or a bedroom. The blue hue softens the material and harmonizes with a light wood decor, antique linens, or white dishware. Placed near a round table, it accommodates a daily meal as well as a more refined moment, especially when paired with a cushion on the seat. Like any second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its past: a few signs of wear.

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