These four stools in light wood and red tubular metal immediately evoke workshop furniture, with a bold presence and a vintage look. Their structure combines the wooden seat and metal base in a rustic style, while the red tubing accentuates the line without weighing it down. Found second-hand, this set of four fits just as well around a high table as in a kitchen, completing a dining area with a graphic touch. Lined up in front of a countertop or paired with mismatched chairs, they offer authentic seating and a reinterpreted touch of schoolroom furniture.

A brief history of the stool
The oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, 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 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 slipped under a table or moved with a single gesture. Whether made of raw wood from a farmhouse or in an industrial style, it now embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
