These two Baumann Essor chairs form a contemporary set, featuring solid beech bases and ecru faux leather upholstery with a crocodile effect. Their seats offer measured comfort, while the beech structure gives the set an elegant and stable presence around a dining table. The ecru tone softens the presence of the dark wood and creates a combination that is easy to blend into a carefully decorated interior. In an open-plan kitchen or a reception room, they pair effortlessly with a wooden table or a more mineral-look tabletop. Arranged around a dinner table, they welcome guests with a sober and refined silhouette.

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, with a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant quest for lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making every seat a witness to the history of comfort.
