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