This solid wood tripod stool captivates with its triangular shape and its vintage country style. Its measured height allows it to fit easily beneath a side table, in a kitchen, or next to a bench, while providing a naturally appealing extra seat. The wood adds a warm presence, with a sober look that easily matches raw materials, linen, or antique ceramics. At the end of a sofa, it can hold a lamp or a few books, and serve as a discreet support in an entryway or bedroom. Length: 33 cm Width: 28 cm Height: 34.5 cm A brief history of the stool As 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 in 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 rough wood from a farmhouse or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, providing an extra seat that never clutters the view.
