This second-hand wooden choir stool in a dark wood hue captivates with its simplicity inspired by country style, inherited from 19th-century liturgical usage. Its high and narrow seat allows for comfortable sitting at a high table or using it as support in a kitchen. The time-worn wood adds a warm touch and naturally complements washed linen, terracotta, or antique tableware. In an entryway, it gladly accommodates a ceramic catch-all or a stack of books. Placed under a window, it holds a bouquet of dried flowers and a folded blanket for a subtle decorative note. Width: 44 cm Depth: 55 cm Height: 76 cm Seat height: 76 cm Seat width: 25 cm Seat depth: 25 cm A Brief History of the Stool The oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by its lack of a backrest and arms. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the people, while in the nobility, the “right to the stool” became a highly codified court privilege, allowing ladies to sit in the presence of the king. Its structure, resting on three or four legs, is a feat of stability and lightness, designed to be slid under a table or moved with a single gesture. Whether it's made of raw wood from a farm or in an industrial style, it embodies today's quintessential space-saving furniture, offering supplementary seating that never clutters the view.
