Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat of a dignitary, but it liberated itself under Louis XV to become this comfort piece of furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and a reclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than 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.
