Its name derives from the Old French "faudesteuil," a folding seat of dignitaries, but it emancipated itself under Louis XV to become this comfort furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it favors a wider seat and a reclined backrest, inviting conversation rather than rigid posture. Whether it be a "bergère" with full cheeks to shield from drafts or a lighter "bridge" armchair, it embodies the evolution of the art of living.
