In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the common people, while among the nobility, the "right to the stool" became a heavily 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 or in an industrial style, it today embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
