This green patterned fabric armchair adds a contemporary and warm touch to the living room. Its textile covering creates an elegant presence, while its appropriately high seat and balanced dimensions invite one to settle in for reading or extending a conversation. A second-hand piece, it fits easily into a corner of a bedroom or near a window, where its measured depth provides appreciated comfort on a daily basis. In an interior with neutral tones, such as beside a wooden bookshelf, it creates a refined ensemble. Slipped next to a side table, it can hold a book, a cup, and a reading lamp.

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