With their black faux leather and solid teak legs, this set of four contemporary second-hand chairs revisits the Scandinavian spirit with understated elegance. The tapered legs lighten the silhouette, while the faux leather seat offers clean comfort around a dining table. Their seat height makes it easy to sit down for a meal in a dining room or open-plan kitchen, whether for everyday meals or more special occasions. They pair beautifully with a wooden table, a bench, or ceramic plates. Arranged around a table set with smoked glasses and a linen table runner, the ensemble creates a refined scene.

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 considered a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools used by ordinary people, the chair only became widely available 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 both lightness and strength, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making every seat a testament to the history of comfort.
