Height: 45.5 cm Diameter: 23 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by the absence of a backrest and armrests. 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 an achievement of stability and lightness, designed to be slid under a table or easily moved. Whether made of raw wood from a farm or in an industrial style, it today embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
