A brief history of the stool
The oldest seat in history, the stool is the direct ancestor of the chair, distinguished by its lack 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 sit on a stool" became a highly regulated 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 a single motion. Whether made of raw wood or in an industrial style, it embodies today's quintessential space-saving furniture, offering an occasional seat that never clutters the view.
