With its countryside look, this second-hand armchair in wood and boucle fabric in a white hue features a silver-topped design that adds a delicate touch. Its wide and low seat invites you to settle in a living room or bedroom to read, browse a magazine, or share a coffee. The wood interacts with the softness of the boucle, in a sober presence that pairs well with a wool rug and a metal side table. Placed near a window, it will happily hold an open book and a cup within reach. As a second-hand piece, it retains the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Width: 57 cm Depth: 44 cm Height: 79 cm Seat height: 41 cm Seat width: 53 cm Seat depth: 45 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is made for work or dining, the armchair was born in the 17th century for a single mission: rest. Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated itself under Louis XV to become this cozy piece of furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it emphasizes a wider seat and a tilted backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it’s a "bergère" with full cheeks to shield from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
