What is a chaise longue?
1 Answer
A chaise longue is a form of seating. It’s an upholstered piece of furniture that was made popular in France in the early 16th century.
This low reclining seat, a “long chair” in English, boasts an elongated form and low back that extends about half the length of the furnishing, affording the welcome opportunity for a sitter to put their feet up and relax.
