This dark wood tripod chair combines a sculptural presence with a striking graphic simplicity, in the spirit of Spanish brutalism. Its distressed finish highlights the warmth of the wood and its low seat, ideal for a kitchen table or bedroom. Its three-legged base gives it a distinctive look while making it easy to incorporate into a country setting, where it pairs as well with a wooden table as with more rustic materials. Placed near a window, it holds an open book, a cup and a linen cushion, creating a reading nook that is as peaceful as it is refined.

A brief history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege reserved for the person presiding over the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front). Long considered a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became widely available in the 18th century, when it became an everyday object. It differs from an armchair by the absence of armrests, with a design that offers complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant search for both lightness and strength, it has evolved from solid carved wood to more modern lines, making every seat a testament to the history of comfort.
