With its natural rattan, this second-hand armchair brings a soft country touch to a living room or a veranda. The natural rattan chair charms with its openwork material and lightweight appearance, allowing light to circulate elegantly. Its low seat and measured proportions make it a pleasant piece for reading, entertaining, or simply enjoying a peaceful break. Placed near a window, it pairs well with a linen cushion and a lamp on a light wood side table. Note that there are some missing parts in the rattan weaving.

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