Romanesque.

Churches:

During the Romanesque period a minimum of 1,587 churches were built between the years 1000 and 1100. The structures of these churches were as such:

• Roofing was masonry not wood
• Walls were painted rich colors, such as greens, blues, and purples
• Walls were adorned with tapestries
• Intricate carvings into the stone walls and entry ways that described literature to the illiterate of people and stories to explain their beliefs 

Furniture:

There were two memorable chairs during the Romanesque period: Folding chairs (which resembled the X-frame chair that existed in Egypt, Nubia, Greece, and the Byzantine Empire) and Charlemagne's throne.

Folding Chairs: These chairs were very useful for military campaigns because they were more portable. Dagobert was a ruler between 605 and 639 and his "throne" was basically a fancier version of the X-Frame chair.

Charlemagne's Throne: This throne was famous mostly for the man who sat upon it; however, it did portray a sense of authority because of its height and the materials used to make it. It sat on a raised platform to increase the height even further and was made of marble sheets. This throne also had its own set of steps leading up to the seat.

Modern Romanesque Influence:

Although this chair most likely does not fold as the Romanesque X-Frame chairs did because today's culture does not necessarily have much use of portable furnishings; the structure of this bench is clearly influenced by the classic X-Frame seat.

An outdoor seating chair would be a more realistic example of the real purpose of a Romanesque folding chair, since outdoor chairs are more likely to be moved around.

In this example, the use of the tapestry on the wall makes the Romanesque influence relevant to this interior.
