With its rattan structure and black metal legs, this vintage rocking chair evokes a light-designed countryside seat. The rattan, in a light wood tone, adds a warm touch, while the metal base underscores the whole with sobriety. Its generously wide seat and inviting depth invite you to settle in a living room or a veranda, with a book, a blanket, or simply to enjoy a moment of pause. The seat height allows for comfortable sitting without weighing down the room. Positioned near a window, it pairs well with a wooden side table and a table lamp.

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