Why is it called an occasional chair?
1 Answer

Why it is called an occasional chair relates to the purpose of this type of living room chair. In many seating areas, the sofa or loveseat is the primary seating option, and the chairs placed next to this piece provide extra places to sit when entertaining. As a result, the chairs may only be used occasionally. Because some people do use occasional chairs more regularly, you will also see them called accent chairs. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of occasional chairs.
