Light and airy, this bamboo and rattan footrest charms with its countryside look, enhanced by light wood legs. Sourced for its natural language and woven materials, it brings a delicate touch to the living room as well as to a bedroom. Its low shape easily slides in front of an armchair and provides comfortable support for everyday use, while the bamboo harmonizes with the rattan in a sober and refined composition. Placed near a linen armchair, it holds an open book, while a light wood side table and a table lamp complete a soft and coherent scene. Width: 37 cm Depth: 21 cm Height: 18 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 common people, while among 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 tucked under a table or moved with ease. Whether made from raw wood farm materials or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, providing extra seating that never clutters the view.
