Length: 53 cm Width: 30 cm Height: 43 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 was 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, resting on three or four legs, is a feat of stability and lightness, designed to be tucked under a table or moved with ease. Whether it is a rustic wooden farm stool or an industrial-style variant, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering additional seating that never clutters the eye.
