This set of four chairs in light wood and natural straw charms with its country spirit. The woven seat adds a warm touch, while the cut-out backrest lightens the overall appearance and highlights the delicacy of the structure. Around a kitchen table or in a dining room, these seats offer pleasant comfort and a discreet yet refined presence.

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 provide 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.
