With its workshop look, this wooden and metal school stool fits seamlessly into a subtly textured country interior. Its round light wood seat rests on a white structure, creating a soft contrast that works well in both a kitchen and a study corner. The combination of wood and metal gives it a simple presence, easily paired with an antique table, a console, or a worktop. Placed near a window, it complements a stoneware vase or a stack of magazines. Light signs of wear are present. Multiple units available. Length: 43 cm Width: 42.5 cm Height: 58 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by its lack of backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of the common people, while in 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 slid under a table or moved with ease. Whether made of raw wood from a farmhouse or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, providing extra seating that never clutters the eye.
