This set of four light wooden chairs with leopard fabric brings a country touch to Italian design, balancing a controlled style with a vintage spirit. Their seat at a good height accompanies the dining table nicely, while the wooden structure gives the whole piece a sober and warm appearance. The leopard fabric enlivens the backrest and seat with a measured presence, without overwhelming the space. In a dining room, they pair well with a wooden table as well as with more discreet chairs to create a nuanced ensemble. Around a convivial meal, they elegantly host earthenware plates and vintage glasses. Width: 44 cm Depth: 51 cm Height: 87 cm Seat height: 48 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who led the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit before]. For a long time a symbol of prestige in comparison 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 an 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 witness to the history of comfort.
