Talk:X-chair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article concerning "X-chair" refers to "Savonarola or Dante chair". I understand that the chair generally known as "Dante chair" or "Dantesca chair" was named after the person called "Dante". I would like to know who exactly is meant by this term "Dante". There appear to be several candidates for it. One of them is Dante Aligheiri (1265 - 1321) who is said to be the author of La Divina Commedia. If the disignation "Dante chair" comes from a person who lived in the Renaissance period, say, 16th century, Dante Aligheiri does not appear to be that person. It would be highly appreciated if a right answer could be given.

The three types of chair mentioned seem to be variations on the premise of a folding Renaissance chair. Combining all three articles would also give a chance to compare the chairs all on one page, instead of using referral links.
