With their sculpted lines and delicate cane work, these six light wooden chairs bring a touch of chic countryside style to the living room. Their slender silhouette and classic height seating make them easy to place around a dining table or in a reception area. The light wood gently warms the overall look, while the cane visually lightens the structure and naturally pairs with vintage textiles, a wooden table, or more contemporary decor. Their measured size also allows them to be tucked into a corner to complement a vintage decor, near a console or sideboard. Width: 40 cm Depth: 38 cm Height: 89 cm Seat height: 43 cm A short history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backed seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who led the assembly: the “president” [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. 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 to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and strength, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
