For a long time, the chair was a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people and only became widely accessible in the 18th century, turning into 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 sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
