With its dark wood walnut hues, this vintage stool evokes a country piece with a simple and refined design. Its solid wood presence allows it to fit seamlessly into both a kitchen and a bedroom, serving as an extra seat or a place to rest a book. Its format makes it easy to slip in wherever an additional seat is needed while remaining discreet in the room. Placed near a raw wood table or an antique bench, it engages in dialogue with natural materials and weathered tones. As a second-hand piece, it retains the memory of its past: a few marks of time. Length: 30 cm Width: 30 cm Height: 48 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest 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 of the people, while in the nobility, the "right to the stool" became a very 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 a single gesture. Whether made of rustic wood or in an industrial style, it embodies today the ultimate space-saving furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
