With its raw light wood and country spirit, this stool adds a sober and vintage touch to the home. Its discreet presence allows it to fit into an entryway, next to a console, or serve as an extra seat in a bedroom without cluttering the floor space. We appreciate its raw material, which complements both a stone floor and an old linen or a ceramic placed on top. Positioned next to an armchair, it naturally holds a book, a candle, or a tall vase. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 37 cm Width: 24 cm Height: 43 cm A brief history of the stool The oldest type of 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 seating for the 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 a gesture. Whether made of raw wood from a farmhouse or in an industrial style, it embodies today the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing extra seating that never clutters the eye.
