Height: 49 cm Diameter: 30 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest seating design in history, the stool is a 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 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 easily tucked under a table or moved with a simple gesture. Whether made of raw wood from a farmhouse or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering additional seating that never clutters the view.
