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