A Brief History of the Armchair
While the chair is designed for work or dining, the armchair emerged in the 17th century with a single purpose: rest. Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a folding dignitary's seat, but it evolved under Louis XV to become this comfortable piece of furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it prioritizes a wider seat and a reclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than a rigid posture. Whether it's a "bergère" with its full sides to shield from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
