This pair of second-hand armchairs combines a contemporary presence with a highly decorative aesthetic, highlighted by mustard yellow fabric with floral patterns. The wooden compass legs emphasize a clean silhouette and provide the ensemble with great visual stability, while the fabric seat invites you to settle in comfortably in the living room or a bedroom. Their generous seat width and measured seat height make them pleasant chairs for use around a side table or near a bookcase. Paired with a light wood table and a few books placed on a console, they create a warm and refined scene. Sold as a pair, one set available.

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 seat for dignitaries, but it evolved under Louis XV into the comfortable piece of furniture equipped with armrests that we know today. Unlike the standard chair, it features a wider seat and a reclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it is a "bergère" with upholstered sides to protect against drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
