Discover this pair of second-hand wooden stools, in a patinated light blue, which brings a country touch to a kitchen or dining area. Their seating and size allow them to be tucked around a high table, under a countertop, or in a corner of the room. The wood, warmed by a beautiful patina, easily complements linen, vintage dishes, or natural materials, creating a sober and refined atmosphere. Height: 48 cm Diameter: 35 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 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 slid under a table or moved with ease. Whether made of rustic raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering extra seating that never clutters the view.
