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