A brief history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege reserved for those who led 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 did not become democratized until the 18th century, eventually 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 carved solid wood to more modern lines, making every seat a witness to the history of comfort.
