This pair of dark wood chairs combines a black frame with beige-yellow fabric, for a restrained presence with country charm. Each offers a comfortable seat around a dining table or in a study area, with a seat height designed for everyday use. The wooden design complements the understated legs, while the fabric adds a soft, luminous touch to the overall look. Mismatched and second-hand, they blend naturally into an interior combining raw materials with lighter tones. Around a wooden table, they welcome a simple dinner, with a linen tablecloth and a few glasses placed in the centre.

A little history of the chair
In the Middle Ages, sitting on a chair with a backrest was a rare privilege, reserved for the person leading the assembly: the "president" (from the Latin praesidere, to sit in front). Long a symbol of prestige compared to the benches and stools of the common people, the chair only became widely available in the 18th century, becoming an everyday object. It is distinguished from the armchair by the absence of armrests, with a structure designed to offer complete freedom of movement around a table or desk. The result of a constant search for a balance between lightness and sturdiness, it has evolved from carved solid wood to more modern lines, making every seat a witness to the history of comfort.
