With its orange fabric and light wood structure, this armchair adds a warm and contemporary touch to an interior. Its compact format, comfortable seat height, and armrests make it a beautiful accent piece for a living room, office, or reading nook. The contrast between the wood and the reupholstered fabric highlights a simple line, easily paired with a wooden coffee table, a textured rug, or a table lamp. Its shallow seat gives it a sleek look, ideal near a bookshelf or in a bedroom. This vintage armchair is also suited for a duo around a side table, with a light throw and some books within reach. Width: 52 cm Depth: 44 cm Height: 76 cm Seat height: 46 cm Seat depth: 36 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is made for work or meals, the armchair was born in the 17th century for one mission only: rest. Its name derives from the old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat for dignitaries, but it emancipated itself under Louis XV to become this comfort piece with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and an inclined back, inviting conversation rather than a 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.
