With its tripod presence and dark wood, this second-hand stool brings a countryside touch to a warm interior. Its height makes it suitable for use as an extra seat in a bedroom or next to a coffee table, for placing a book, a lamp, or a drink within reach. Its simple design and wooden legs give it an easy-to-pair look with natural materials, from vintage linen to ceramic. Tucked into a corner of the living room or next to an armchair, it readily welcomes a vase or a stack of magazines. As a second-hand item, it carries the marks of its past: a few signs of wear. Available in two pieces. Length: 28 cm Width: 20 cm Height: 35 cm A brief history of the stool As 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 in 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 slid under a table or easily moved. Whether made of raw wood from a farm or in an industrial style, it embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture today, offering extra seating that never clutters the view.
