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