A Brief History of the Chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a backrest chair was a rare privilege, reserved for the person leading the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin praesidere, to sit before). 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 total freedom of movement around a table or 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.
