Finding the Right seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
Questions About S Shaped Settee
- What is a settee used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A settee is a padded seat with a back and armrests (which are often cushioned) that may accommodate two or more people sitting or reclining. Settees aren’t as wide as couches or sofas. A settee is more intimate and offers more sitting room than an armchair. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage settees.
- What is a borne settee?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A borne settee is a circular, upholstered Victorian ottoman-style sofa with three or four seat divisions. It provides a backrest in its central cone element and has also been referred to as a “conversation seat.” Borne settees are frequently situated in hotel lobbies and galleries. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage settees.
- Who named the settee?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The first person who called a settee a settee is unknown. Historians have traced the name back to the Middle Ages when the furniture first came into production. Settee comes from the Old English word “setl,” which described a long wooden bench. On 1st 1stDibs, find a selection of antique settees.
- What is the Navette shape?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Navette is another word that describes the marquise shape of a gemstone. A navette is an elongated oval that’s pointed at both ends and is typically used to describe the curve of a gem rather than a faceted gemstone. You’ll find a variety of Navette-shaped jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- What is abstract shapes?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021Abstract shapes are the large, basic shapes that provide the building blocks for virtually any painting in any style. Abstract shapes are created by abstracting the most basic and recognizable aspects of a real-life shape and creating a simplified representation of it. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of abstract paintings and other kinds of abstract art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between a sofa and a settee is largely a matter of personal opinion. Technically, the two words refer to the same thing. However, settee is no longer a commonly used term. As a result, some people call antique couches “settees,” and newer examples of the furniture “sofas.” On 1stDibs, find a large selection of antique and vintage sofas and settees.
- Do poufs lose their shape?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not a pouf will lose its shape depends on how it has been constructed. Poufs that are made with flimsy materials may lose their shape and structure over time, while poufs that are well-made with durable materials will likely hold their shape for a long time. It also depends on how you use the pouf — if it’s mostly used as decor, it will hold its shape longer than if it’s frequently used as a seat or foot rest. On 1stDibs, find a collection of poufs from top sellers around the world.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023The most popular pendant shape can vary based on what's in fashion. However, some shapes defy trends and have timeless appeal. They include hearts and crosses. In addition, pendants featuring a solitaire gemstone or pearl or showcasing a gemstone surrounded by a halo of accent stones also seem to remain in style from season to season. Explore a wide variety of pendants on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023To keep a Picotin in shape, empty the bag after use and stuff it with acid-free tissue paper. Store it upright in its original box and dust bag in a dry, cool place. Using a bag organizer or insert may also help the tote maintain its shape. Shop an assortment of Hermès Picotin bags on 1stDibs.
- What are S-shaped chairs called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022S-shaped chairs are also called Panton Chairs after Danish designer Verner Panton. Part of the modernist style, Panton’s designs are considered masterpieces of Danish design and are beloved by interior designers the world over.
