This pair of green wooden and rattan chairs adds a countryside touch, soft and refined, to a dining room or kitchen. Their rattan seat lightens the overall look while the painted wood creates a sober presence, easy to pair with an antique table as well as a more minimalist decor. Carefully sourced, they offer pleasant comfort for daily meals and moments shared over coffee. Their size allows them to fit easily around a table without overcrowding the space. Placed next to a weathered wooden table, they willingly host an old linen and some earthenware plates. Like any second-hand object, they bear the marks of their history: a few traces of time. Width: 47 cm Depth: 39 cm Height: 87 cm Seat height: 45 cm Seat width: 47 cm Seat depth: 39 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for those who chaired 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 common people, the chair only became democratic in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to provide 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 witness to the history of comfort.
