Savonarola Chair in the San Marco Museum in Florence


The name “Savonarola” (the most common name for the chair)* derives from a chair found in the convent of San Marco in Florence which was used by the 15th century Italian Dominican priest Girolamo Savonarola. ** A “Dante” chair, a heavier version of the X-form chair, does not fold.
