Discover this blue wooden chair in countryside style, whose simple design is enhanced by a blue liberty fabric seat. Renovated, this second-hand chair combines a wooden structure with refined textile upholstery for a soft and polished look. Its proportions allow it to be placed around a kitchen table or in a bedroom, while providing a comfortable seat at the right height. Around a wooden table, it readily complements a simple meal, with a linen tablecloth and a few wildflowers. Like any second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its past: a few signs of time. Width: 38 cm Depth: 36 cm Height: 85 cm Seat height: 44 cm Seat width: 36 cm Seat depth: 36 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 before]. Long 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 is distinguished from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest for lightness and solidity, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
