Adopt a chair inspired by Thomas Rietvel's design, whose wooden structure reveals a sober and architectural elegance. The prototype revisited by Francescoo Segura combines a seat and backrest in brown leather, offering enveloping comfort and a warm patina, perfect for a living room, an office, or a reading nook where comfort and style meet. Its balanced proportions provide a discreet and refined presence. Light signs of wear are present. Width: 41 cm Depth: 63.5 cm Height: 83 cm Seat height: 38 cm Seat width: 36 cm Seat depth: 41 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is meant for work or meals, the armchair was born in the 17th century for a single purpose: rest. Its name derives from the old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated under Louis XV to become a comfort piece of furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors 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" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
