The Baumann Eventail armchair revisits the contemporary spirit with a soft look, carried by its light solid wood and ecru bouclé upholstery. Fully restored, sanded, and then varnished, it highlights a luminous material and a refined finish that emphasize its graphic lines. Its seat at a measured height and its balanced dimensions make it a comfortable piece to accompany a living room, bedroom, or reading nook. The contrast between the wood and the fabric brings a refined touch, easy to pair with a light wood side table or a rug in natural tones. In an interior, it readily welcomes a textured throw and an open book, for a peaceful and warm scene.

A little history of the armchair
If the chair is made for work or meals, the armchair was born in the 17th century for a single mission: rest. Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil", a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated itself under Louis XV to become this comfort furniture equipped with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and a tilted backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it is a "bergère" with full cheeks to shelter from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
