Length: 40 cm Width: 30 cm Height: 26 cm A Brief History of the Stool As the oldest type of 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 seating for the common 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 gesture. Whether made of raw wood from a farm or in an industrial style, it embodies the quintessential space-saving furniture today, offering extra seating that never clutters the view.
