- Why is it called a chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Why the furniture used for seating is called a chair has to do with the history of language.

- Why is it called Fauvism?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024The story of why it is called Fauvism traces back to an art critic who reacted negatively when he first viewed examples of Fauvist art. After touring the Salon d'Automne in Paris, France, in 1905, critic Louis Vauxcelles said that the colorful work of Henri Matisse, André Derain, Albert Marquet and the other Fauvists looked as if it had been made by "fauves," or "wild beasts" in English.

- Why is it called an armoire?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024Why it is called an armoire likely relates to the original purpose of the furniture.

- Why is it called a credenza?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Why it is called a credenza relates to historic lore about the furniture. In Italian, credenza is a word for “trust” or “belief.” During the 16th century, food and drink was often tested by a servant for a prominent person to see if it contained poison. The sideboard where this tasting took place came to be called a credenza. From there, a cabinet used to hold drinkware, plates and other items became known by the term as well. Although credenzas are now general storage furniture used in homes and offices, the original name remains. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of credenzas.
- Why is it called a nightstand?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019

- Why is it called a hutch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023Why a hutch is called that is due to the history of the English language. In Old English, the word for a box or chest is hwiċe or hwiċċe.

- Why is it called a Papasan?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The bowl-shaped papasan chair originated in South East Asia, but it is believed that Americans who first became familiar with the chair during the world wars dubbed it a papasan.

- Why are they called Fauves?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Artists Henri Matisse, André Derain, Albert Marquet, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kees van Dongen and others were called Fauves because of the words of an art critic.

On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Fauvist art.
- Why is it called Medieval?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The word “medieval” comes from the Latin phrase medium aevum, which means “middle age.” The Middle Ages refer to the era in Europe that lasted from the fifth century to the Renaissance.
