A brief history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a high-backed chair was a rare privilege, reserved for the person presiding over the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin praesidere, to sit before). For a long time a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became democratized in the 18th century to become an everyday object. It differs from the armchair by the absence of armrests, a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or a desk. The result of a constant quest between lightness and solidity, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making each seat a testament to the history of comfort.
