A Brief History of the Armchair
While chairs are made 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 folding seat for dignitaries, but it evolved under Louis XV to become a comfortable piece of furniture with armrests. Unlike a chair, it favors a wider seat and a reclined back, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it's a "bergère" with full sides to protect from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
