The type of Piccolino designed by David Palterer, with its by 45° offset legs, goes back to the so called “Fauteuil de bureau”, a desk chair which was invented in the 18th century in France. Characteristic, until today, is the semicircular backrest which forms one piece with the armrests. The across the corner positioned frame and frontally placed leg enable a comfortable position when sitting for a long time.
Already in the Napoleon-palace on Elba stands an interesting predecessor of this chair, the so called “loafer”, on which the people, waiting for an audience, could sit.
