Length: 44 cm Width: 39 cm Height: 120 cm Seat height: 46 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 one who led the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the people, the chair only became more common in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from an 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 solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
