The salmon pink velvet of this chair immediately sets the tone, with a graphic softness highlighted by its brass structure. Chined for a contemporary atmosphere, it brings a soft touch without weighing down the space, while its pastel pink velvet fabric backrest nicely nuances the whole. Foldable, it stores easily after a meal or moves from one room to another as needed, and its seat at a classic height readily accompanies a dining table or a desk. Its look pairs just as well with light wood as with more sober materials. Around a set table, with white tableware and a bouquet of fresh flowers, it creates a delicate and contemporary scene.

A little history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the one who led 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 people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer total freedom of movement around a table or a desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from solid carved wood to more modern lines, making each seat a witness to the history of comfort.
