Length: 31 cm Width: 30.5 cm Height: 45 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 was the universal seat of the people, while among the nobility, the "right to a 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 tucked under a table or moved with a gesture. Whether made of raw wood from a farm or in an industrial style, it today embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, providing an additional seat that never clutters the view.
