Length: 45 cm Width: 40 cm Height: 105 cm Seat height: 46 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 leading the assembly: the "president" [from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front]. For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, chairs only became democratized in the 18th century, turning into everyday objects. It differs 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 pursuit between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from solid carved wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
