Its name, almost melodic, evokes the softness of its stuffing that allowed ladies to sit without wrinkling their voluminous dresses, unlike chairs with rigid backrests. At its peak during the Second Empire, it became the symbol of unabashed bourgeois comfort, often adorned with luxurious trimmings that reached the floor.
