Its solid wood presence allows it to fit as well in a kitchen as in a bedroom, as an extra seat or as a stand to place a book. Its size allows it to easily slip in where an extra seat is needed, while remaining discreet in the room. Placed near a raw wood table or an antique bench, it dialogues with natural materials and patinated shades. A second-hand piece, it retains 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 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 gesture. Whether it is made of raw wood or industrial style, it now embodies the ultimate space-saving furniture, offering an extra seat that never clutters the view.
