With its beige wood and red velvet fabric, this vintage armchair embodies a countryside charm full of softness. Its wooden structure creates a subtle presence, while the velvet seat and backrest add a warm touch to the living room or a reading nook. Thanks to its generous seat and enveloping back, it invites comfortable pauses, whether alone with a book or near a wooden coffee table. It naturally pairs with linen, a ceramic lamp, or a rug in natural tones. As a second-hand piece, it carries the memory of its past: a few traces of time.

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 back, inviting conversation rather than a 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.
