A brief history of the stool
The oldest type of seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by the absence of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat for commoners, while among the nobility, the "right to a stool" became a highly codified court privilege, allowing ladies to sit in the presence of the king. Its structure, resting on three or four legs, is a feat of stability and lightness, designed to be tucked under a table or moved with ease. Whether it is a rustic wooden farmhouse stool or an industrial design, it is now the ultimate space-saving piece of furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the room.
