Contemporary sobriety for this second-hand chair made of wood and black leather, whose measured presence relies on a clear dialogue between the structure and the upholstery. The black leather seat and backrest provide a comfortable support, while the wood highlights a stable line that easily complements a graphic interior. Its seat height is suitable for a desk, where it readily supports prolonged work, an open notebook, or a laptop. In a living room, it can sit near a metal coffee table or a bookshelf, with a blanket placed on the armrest and a glass within reach. The contrast between the wood and black leather gives it a sharp appearance, ideal for a contemporary decor with a mineral emphasis. As a second-hand object, it bears the marks of its past: a few traces of time.

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