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 differs from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. Born from 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.
