With its beige caning and black wooden frame, this second-hand chair embodies the codes of country style in a sober and refined version. The caning seat adds a beautiful visual lightness, while the backrest and the wooden structure create a measured presence around a table or in a bedroom. Foldable, it can be easily stored after use and fits perfectly in both a dining corner and an office without weighing down the space. In a dining room or living room, it willingly lends itself to a convivial scene with a linen cushion and a carafe placed on the table. Sold individually, 2 pieces available.

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 a daily object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a design intended to offer total freedom of movement around a table or 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.
