Width: 40 cm Depth: 19 cm Height: 22 cm A little history of the stool The oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by its lack of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the people, while in nobility, the "right to a stool" became a very 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 made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies today the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing an extra seat that never clutters the eye.
