A brief history of the armchair
While chairs were designed for work or dining, the armchair emerged in the 17th century for a single purpose: relaxation. Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a dignitary's folding seat, but it evolved under Louis XV into a comfortable piece of furniture with armrests. Unlike a chair, it features a wider seat and a reclined backrest, encouraging conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether a full-sided "bergère" designed to shield against drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
