A brief history of the armchair
While chairs are for work or dining, the armchair was born in the 17th century with a single mission: rest. Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a dignitary's folding seat, but it evolved under Louis XV to become this piece of comfortable furniture equipped with armrests. Unlike the chair, it features a wider seat and an inclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it's a "bergère" with full sides to shield from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
