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.

The pencil skirt and sheath skirt were widely worn, and the miniskirt became highly popularized. Classic swing skirts, featuring pleated or gathered design, were also a common choice.

- Is a plaid skirt a kilt?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not a plaid skirt is a kilt depends on its style. Kilts are a type of wrap skirt usually fashioned out of twill or wool. Many feature plaid prints, but not all do. Plaid skirts come in a wide range of other styles besides the Celtic kilt. On 1stDibs, find a collection of kilts.

- Who invented the mini-skirt?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024No one knows for certain who invented the mini-skirt. Hemlines began to grow shorter during the late 1950s, with notable pieces like the Balenciaga Sack dress and the Dior Trapeze line designed by Yves Saint Laurent. This trend continued into the 1960s, and in 1964, designer André Courrèges made headlines with the leg-showing skirts featured in his runway show. Although which designer was the first to actually create the mini-skirt is open for debate, most experts agree that British designer Mary Quant was responsible for popularizing it. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of vintage mini-skirts.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Skirts were originally made for men and women. The oldest skirts trace back to 3900 BCE. Archaeologists and anthropologists unearthed evidence of these garments at the Areni-1 cave complex in Armenia. Ancient artisans produced the first skirt out of woven straw-like materials. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of skirts.
- What are puffy skirts called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024A puffy skirt is usually called a bubble skirt. The style emerged during the 1950s and has been a feminine favorite ever since. It gets its full, puffed appearance from fabric tucked in along its hemline. Explore a collection of bubble skirts from some of the world's top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- What does midi skirt mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A midi skirt is a skirt that goes past your knees. It becomes a maxi skirt if it goes past your ankles.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Many kinds of skirts were popular in the 1970s, including denim skirts, A-line skirts, and peasant skirts.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024There are a few ways that you can wear a long skirt without looking frumpy. Try pairing a long, flowing skirt with a fitted or cropped top to create balance. Another option is to choose a long skirt with a slit that reveals your legs when you walk. If your skirt doesn't have a slit, you can tie the hemline on one side to add dimension to the piece or gather the hem and secure it with a decorative brooch. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of long skirts from some of the world's top boutiques.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and a chair is specificity. A chair is the general term for furniture typically designed to seat one person at a time, and there are many different kinds of chairs, including dining, accent and office chairs. Lounge chairs are another example of a specific type of chair. They are chairs with a footrest that allows you to elevate your feet while sitting. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if a chair is an Eames chair, take a look under the seat or cushion. Authentic Eames lounge chairs are manufactured by Herman Miller and Vitra. If your Eames chair is a Herman Miller original, look for the legendary manufacturer’s specific logomarks on the product (these logomarks can be found on the company’s official website). There is also the manufacturing label, which is usually found under the seat or cushion (unless a former owner removed it). All of the classic Herman Miller designs are paired with a certificate of authenticity. Some designs may also have a medallion attached to certify their authenticity. You can then check trusted online resources to determine if the information on the label is correct for the style of chair (and more info on its construction is available on the official Eames website). You won’t see screws outside of the wood shells on an authentic Eames lounge chair, and prior to the 1970s, original vintage Eames lounge chairs were made with no more than five layers of plywood (during the 1970s, the chairs were made with seven layers). Find a variety of authentic Eames chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023There is no difference between a club chair and an armchair; a club chair is a type of armchair. An armchair is any chair with arms, while a club chair is a wide, comfortable type of armchair that is typically clad in leather and features thick upholstery. All club chairs are armchairs, but not all armchairs are club chairs. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of club chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The difference between a task chair and an executive chair is that most task chairs will have adjustable seat height as well as swivel and tilt functions. Task chairs are lightweight and mobile but are not intended for long periods of continuous use. Executive chairs are meant to be more comfortable and are usually designed with high backrests. An executive chair is intended for long periods of use compared to a task chair, which in some cases may be armless and isn’t going to provide the premium comfort that can be expected from an executive chair. Task chairs are also typically less expensive than executive chairs. Find a variety of antique, modern and contemporary task chairs and executive chairs on 1stDibs.
