This dark wood tripod chair combines a sculptural presence with a highly graphic sobriety, in a Spanish brutalist spirit. Gathered from various sources, it showcases the warmth of wood and a low seat height, making it ideal around a kitchen table or in a bedroom. Its three-legged base gives it a unique look while remaining easy to integrate into a country decor, where it pairs well with both wooden tables and more raw materials. Placed near a window, it holds an open book, a cup, and a linen cushion, creating a reading nook that is as calm as it is refined. Width: 46 cm Depth: 46 cm Height: 76 cm Seat height: 39 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 leader of 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, the chair only became commonplace in the 18th century, evolving into an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. Resulting from a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
