This cream white plastic armchair captivates with its contemporary presence and very minimalist design. Its plastic shell and soft hues allow it to fit into a living room, a veranda, or a reading nook, where its seat at just the right height naturally accompanies moments of relaxation. As a second-hand piece, it retains the straightforward elegance of thrifted items, with a material that easily pairs with a wooden coffee table, a light rug, or a lamp with a simple design. Its backrest wraps around without weighing down, and its seat comfortably accommodates everyday moments. Placed with a light throw and an open book, it creates a simple and refined scene. Like any second-hand armchair, it bears the marks of its past: a few traces. Width: 57 cm Depth: 55 cm Height: 75 cm Seat height: 44 cm Seat width: 45 cm Seat depth: 42 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is made 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 under Louis XV to become a comfort piece equipped with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and a tilted backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it's a "bergère" with full cheeks to shelter from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
