Length: 41 cm Width: 29 cm Height: 33.5 cm A brief history of the stool 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 common people, while among the nobility, the "right to a 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 ease. Whether it is a rustic wooden farmhouse stool or an industrial-style one, it embodies the epitome of space-saving furniture today, providing extra seating that never clutters the eye.
