This pair of wooden chairs in the Thonet style adds a touch of rustic elegance around a table. Their curved design, typical of this style, fits well in both a dining room and a breakfast nook, while their wooden seat provides a pleasant experience for everyday use. Sourced from different places, they combine a beautiful presence and a patinated finish that naturally complements a light wooden table or an antique bench.

For a long time, a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair became more widespread only in the 18th century, transforming into an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, featuring a design aimed at providing complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from intricately carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
