This red and cream faux leather armchair adds a contemporary touch to the living room with its enveloping presence and generous lines. Formerly a single sofa bed, this second-hand seat offers a deep seat and a low seating height, ideal for a reading nook or relaxation area. The faux leather upholstery highlights a clean look, while the cream trim creates a neat contrast around the structure. Its size easily fits into a bedroom or living space, near a reading lamp and a wooden side table. Positioned in front of a bookshelf, it willingly accommodates a folded blanket and an open book for a comfortable break. Length: 111 cm Width: 85 cm Height: 78 cm Seat height: 38 cm Seat width: 76 cm Seat depth: 56 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is meant for work or dining, the armchair was born in the 17th century for a single mission: 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 features a wider seat and an inclined 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.
