The chair is also known as Savonarola, Dante, or X-frame chair. This type of chair was named Savonarola in the 19th century, after Girolamo Savonarola, an Italian priest who lived in Florence from 1494 to 1498. The design is derived from an ancient Roman 'X'-shaped chair that was popular in medieval Italy. It is one of the oldest forms of chairs or stools, with examples dating back to the 2nd millennium BC.
