Its name comes 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 a reclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than a rigid posture. Whether it’s a "bergère" with full cheeks to shield from drafts or a lighter "bridge" chair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
