This brutalist chair in dark wood combines a rustic spirit with a beautifully understated tripod construction. Its wood provides a warm presence, while the seat, positioned at the right height, easily facilitates use around a side table or in a bedroom next to a bed. With its compact shape and very minimalist style, it can also be used as a standalone decorative element.

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 offer total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
