This set of two chairs in light wood brings a rustic touch to the home, with a sober and warm presence. Their sleek look naturally fits into a dining room, where they complement a wooden table or a more contemporary tabletop. The shallow seat invites comfortable meals without weighing down the space, while the wooden structure maintains a beautiful clarity. As second-hand chairs, they readily adapt to an interior mixing natural materials and vintage finds. Around a table set with antique crockery and linen napkins, they create a harmonious ensemble for a dinner among close friends.

For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the people, the chair only became democratized 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 a desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
