A Brief History of the Chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a high-backed seat was a rare privilege, reserved for the person leading the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin "praesidere," to sit before). For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools used by the common people, the chair only became widespread in the 18th century, becoming an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from sculpted solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
