The faux fur wraps the seat in warm comfort, while the metal frame defines a piece with a beautiful profile. Removable via velcro, they are perfect for everyday use in a living room or reading nook, around a coffee table, or near a bookshelf. The 1970s Pelfran slipper chair thus combines textured material with a sober silhouette, in a very trendy, curated style. Adorned with a wool throw and accompanied by a metal side table, it creates a welcoming and refined setting.

A brief history of the slipper chair
Its name is no coincidence: in the 18th century, the "chauffeuse" (slipper chair) was a low chair placed as close as possible to the hearth to warm up without obstructing the circulation of heat. Its silhouette is recognized by its low seat and high back, a structure designed for dressing or nursing by 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.
