Its name derives from the old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated under Louis XV to become this comfort piece with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and an inclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it is a "bergère" with full cheeks to shelter from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
