A brief history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege reserved for the person presiding over the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front). Long considered a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools used by ordinary people, the chair only became commonplace in the 18th century, when it became an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by its lack of armrests, with a design that allows complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant search for a balance between lightness and strength, it has evolved from solid wood to more modern lines, making every seat a testament to the history of comfort.
