This dark wood footrest with beige and green patterned fabric adds a rustic touch, with a soft and measured presence. Its textile seat contrasts with the wooden structure, making it a second-hand stool that naturally fits in a living room or reading nook. It comfortably complements an armchair and can also serve as an auxiliary support in the entrance for placing a bag. Positioned near a linen armchair, it holds a folded blanket and a stack of books. As a second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its history: a few traces of time. Length: 45 cm Width: 43 cm Height: 47 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 served as the universal seat for 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 one gesture. Whether rustic in raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering a supplementary seat that never clutters the view.
