With its light rattan and soft lines, this vintage armchair revisits the countryside spirit with understated elegance. Its openwork structure naturally lightens the space, while its low seat invites you to settle in a living room, near a window or a bookshelf. The rattan easily pairs with linen, patinated wood, or a side table, creating a refined and warm reading nook. Its enveloping backrest and generously wide and deep seat provide peaceful comfort for everyday use. As a second-hand piece, it carries the marks of its history: a few traces of time. Available in two copies. Width: 55 cm Depth: 53 cm Height: 84 cm Seat height: 39 cm Seat width: 45 cm Seat depth: 55 cm A brief history of the armchair: While the chair is designed for work or dining, the armchair was born in the 17th century for a single purpose: rest. Its name comes from the old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated under Louis XV to become a comfort piece with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and an inclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it’s a "bergère" with full cheeks to shield from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
