This brown fabric armless chair, with its contemporary style, evokes the iconic seating of the seventies with a very modern sobriety. Its beautiful presence unfolds in the living room, where its low, deep seat invites you to settle in to read, entertain, or simply extend a conversation. The fabric offers an enveloping comfort, while its generous proportions allow it to structure a relaxation corner without feeling heavy. It pairs easily with a light wood side table, a textured rug, or a few cushions in natural tones. Placed near a bookcase, it gladly welcomes a wool throw and a favorite magazine. A second-hand piece, it retains the memory of its past: a few traces of time.

A brief history of the chauffeuse
Its name is no coincidence: in the 18th century, the "chauffeuse" (or hearth chair) was a low chair placed as close as possible to the hearth to stay warm without obstructing the heat flow. Its silhouette is recognizable by its seat near the ground and its high backrest, a structure designed for dressing or nursing near the fire, away from drafts. And did you know? Its low height was primarily used by ladies to more easily put on their stockings and shoes.
