A brief history of the stool
As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, from which it differs by its lack of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat for commoners, while among the nobility, the "right to the 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 tucked under a table or moved with ease. Whether a rustic wooden farmhouse piece or an industrial-style design, it now embodies the quintessential space-saving piece of furniture, offering extra seating that never clutters the view.
