Length: 75 cm Width: 53 cm Depth: 51 cm Height: 84 cm Seat depth: 51 cm A brief history of the armchair If the chair is meant for work or dining, the armchair was born in the 17th century with a single mission: to provide 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 furniture with armrests. Unlike the chair, it features a wider seat and a reclined 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.
