Length: 29 cm Width: 28 cm Height: 30.5 cm A Brief History of the Stool The oldest type of seating 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 served as the universal seat for 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, supported by three or four legs, is a feat of stability and lightness, designed to be slipped under a table or moved effortlessly. Whether rustic in raw wood or in an industrial style, it now represents the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing additional seating that never clutters the eye.
