This second-hand wooden armchair in a light wood shade and brown rope brings a simple and warm country touch to the living room. Its low-seated rope design offers comfortable support, while its measured proportions allow it to fit seamlessly into a corner of the room or next to a side table. The combination of wood and weaving gives it a soft presence, making it easy to pair with natural linen, matte ceramics, or other woven fibers. In a bedroom, it holds a folded blanket and a book placed on the seat.

Its name derives from the Old French "fautesteuil," a folding seat of a dignitary, but it emancipated itself under Louis XV to become this comfort piece furnished with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and a reclining backrest, inviting conversation rather than a 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.
