With its weaving and velvet cushions, this light wood armchair in a contemporary style evokes a subtle elegance while retaining the spirit of the 1930s. Its woven backrest and armrests create a welcoming seat, while the beautifully high seat naturally complements a reading nook or a living room. The zippered removable cushions, newly refurbished, provide a touch of refined comfort and facilitate daily maintenance. The two sculpted front legs give it a refined presence, enhanced by the combination of green and cream tones. Placed near a bookshelf, it lends itself to moments of relaxation with an open book and a cup set on a side table. As a second-hand item, it bears the mark of its history: a renewed space.

Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat of dignity, but it emancipates under Louis XV to become this comfort piece featuring armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and an inclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than a 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.
