The dark wood tripod chair exudes a rustic and vintage charm, with a simple presence that easily fits around a table or in a kitchen. Its backrest supports the seat with restraint, while the wooden structure gives it an authentic and warm appearance. The proportions of this seat allow it to take up little floor space without disrupting the balance of a dining area. In a country home as well as in a more contemporary interior, it pairs well with a raw wood table or an antique bench. Placed against a wall, it invites a linen cushion and a stack of books, creating a discreet and tidy reading corner. Width: 35 cm Depth: 35 cm Height: 80 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the leader of the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. For a long time, it symbolized prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, and the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the 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 sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
