This vintage stool combines a light wood top with a green-grey metal frame, embodying a simple and elegant country spirit. Its seat provides comfortable support around an island, a side table, or in a kitchen where raw materials are preferred. The wood adds a bright touch, while the metal creates a stable and graphic base that easily pairs with linen, ceramics, or patinaed furniture. Placed near a console or a wooden table, it can accommodate a vase, a stack of books, or serve as an everyday extra seat. A secondhand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few traces of time. Length: 34 cm Width: 34 cm Height: 60 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 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 lightness, designed to be slid under a table or moved with a single movement. Whether made of raw wood from a farmhouse or in an industrial style, it today embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing extra seating that never clutters the view.
