Found, this pair of painted white wooden medallion chairs, in a light wood tone, brings a restrained country touch. The rounded backrest and the studded structure highlight careful craftsmanship, while the beige seat with striped and floral patterns in beige and brown softens the whole. Second-hand, they fit around a raw wood table, where their seat height allows for comfortable seating. The light wood pairs well with linen curtains, an old tablecloth, or some ceramic plates. Around a dining table, they gladly accommodate earthenware dishes and a bouquet of wildflowers.

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