Embrace the revisited Stella chair from the 70s, of French origin, which combines light beech wood with a khaki faux leather backrest and touches of black plastic for a retro-contemporary balance. The restored seat in blue and yellow wax fabric adds a graphic and warm note, perfect as a dining chair or as an accent piece in a compact interior. There is a small discreet snag on the faux leather and a few small defects on a corner of the fabric. Some signs of use that add to its authenticity.

For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to allow total freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and strength, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
