Diameter: 30 cm Height: 49 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 slipped under a table or moved with a gesture. Whether rustic wooden farm style or industrial chic, it now embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing extra seating that never clutters the view.
