This wooden and straw prayer chair, found and in a country style, seduces with its light wood and the sobriety of its natural material. Its slender structure and straw seat create a discreet presence, ideal for accompanying a prayer corner, a bedroom, or an entryway. Tall and narrow, it easily fits against a wall, allowing the space to breathe while offering a stable and light seat in spirit. Placed near a console with an old book or a fixture made of natural material, it composes a soft and serene scene. Width: 30 cm Depth: 38 cm Height: 91 cm A brief history of the chair In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a back 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, 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 total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of 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.
