With its Scandinavian lines and dark wood, this vintage armchair showcases a sleek silhouette supported by delicate tapered legs. The mustard fabric seat and backrest add a warm touch, while its measured proportions make it easy to integrate into a living room, bedroom, or reading corner. Its comfortable seat invites you to settle in for reading, chatting, or simply taking a break, offering a lovely balance between structure and textile softness. The contrast between the dark wood and mustard works particularly well alongside a light wood coffee table, a textured rug, or a metal lamp. As a second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its history: a few signs of age. Width: 56.6 cm Depth: 60 cm Height: 90 cm Seat height: 37 cm Seat width: 51 cm Seat depth: 49 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is made for work or dining, the armchair was created in the 17th century for one sole purpose: rest. Its name derives from the old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it became emancipated under Louis XV to become this comfortable piece of furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and an inclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than 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.
