This pair of wooden and rattan chairs charms with its countryside spirit, between warm material and natural simplicity. The sculpted wooden backrest adds a refined decorative detail, while the rattan seat offers soft comfort for a convivial table or a reading nook. In a dining room or a bedroom, they gladly accommodate a book placed on the seat or a light blanket draped over the backrest.

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 to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the 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 carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
