This dark wood and beige and green patterned fabric footstool adds a country touch with a soft and measured presence. Its textile seat contrasts with the wooden structure, making for a second-hand stool that naturally finds its place in a living room or reading corner. It accompanies an armchair with comfort and can also serve as a side support in the entryway for placing a bag. Tucked near a linen armchair, it holds a folded throw and a stack of books. As a second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: a few traces of time.

A little history of the stool
The oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, from which it is distinguished by the absence of a backrest and armrests. In the Middle Ages, it was the universal seat of 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 simple gesture. Whether it is a raw wood farmhouse stool or an industrial style piece, it now embodies the quintessential space-saving furniture, offering extra seating that never clutters the room.
