This second-hand footrest charms with its combination of dark wood and a light pink and blue patterned fabric, exuding a soft country spirit. Its wooden structure provides stable support, while its upholstery adds a delicate textile touch, making it ideal for a living room, at the foot of an armchair, or near a coffee table. Used as a footrest, it also beautifully complements a reading nook or a bedroom. Its size allows it to easily fit where an extra seat is desired without weighing down the overall look. Placed next to a linen armchair and accompanied by a throw, it creates an elegant and cozy resting corner. As a second-hand piece, it carries the marks of its history: some signs of wear. Length: 48 cm Width: 36 cm Height: 44 cm A little 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 lightweight design, intended to be slid under a table or moved with ease. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies the quintessential space-saving furniture today, offering an extra seat that never clutters the eye.
