A set of four light blue Formica and chrome chairs brings a contemporary and refined touch to the dining area. Their clean-lined seats, supported by a chrome frame, create a set that is visually light and easy to pair with raw materials, from light wood to metal. These second-hand chairs fit naturally into a kitchen or dining room, where their understated shape allows for flexible seating arrangements without weighing down the space. Around a wooden table, they are equally suited to an everyday dinner or a long coffee, with a restrained presence. Like all found pieces, they bear the marks of their past: a few traces of time.

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 leading the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front). Long a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century, becoming an everyday object. It is distinguished from the 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 for lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making every seat a witness to the history of comfort.
