A brief history of the stool
As the oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, from which it is distinguished by its lack 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 ease. Whether it is a rustic farmhouse piece or industrial in style, it now embodies the quintessential space-saving furniture, offering extra seating that never overwhelms the room.
