With its dark wood and rustic charm, this vintage stool brings a sober and refined touch to the home. Its seat can serve as extra seating in a kitchen, near a console table, or at the end of a desk, wherever you like to keep a discreet and useful chair. The wooden material gives it a warm presence, easy to pair with linen, ceramics, or antique furniture, in a deliberately second-hand spirit. It also slides easily under a shelf or against a wall, ready to hold a book, a lamp, or a vase. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its past: a few signs of wear and tear.

A brief history of the stool
The oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, from which it differs by the absence of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat for the common people, while among the nobility, the "right to a stool" became a highly codified court privilege, allowing ladies to sit in the presence of the king. Its structure, resting on three or four legs, is a feat of stability and lightness, designed to be slid under a table or moved with a single gesture. Whether a raw wood farmhouse style or industrial, it embodies space-saving furniture par excellence, offering extra seating that never clutters the view.
