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 Daybed In Leather
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 16, 2019

    Yes, Daybeds are all twin size.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    No, daybeds are not smaller than twin beds. In fact, daybeds and twin beds are one in the same. Both measure 39 inches wide by 75 inches long.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because daybeds use normal mattresses, they are almost a type of normal bed taking on the function of a couch. Therefore they can be used as a normal bed, though the comfort level depends on the mattress quality. Designer George Nelson's iconic Nelson daybed and others are available on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Yes, Wilsons Leather products are made with real leather. The brand, which was founded in 1988, takes pride in the quality of its genuine leather clothing and accessories.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Today, most patent leather is not actually made of leather. New patent leathers are made by applying plastic coatings over plastic materials. Old patent leather, on the other hand, was created by applying layers of oil on natural leather.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    Yes, American Leather is real leather. The American furniture maker typically uses genuine glove leather for its upholstered pieces. Only the top 10% of hides in the world meet the company's standards. Shop a diverse assortment of American Leather furniture from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Tufted leather is leather with patterned dimples or depressions. This look is achieved by forming indents and securing these indents with buttons or knots. The raised sections in between the indents are called “tufts.”
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    Patina leather has a slightly distressed look to it. You can buy it that way or let it happen naturally. When leather mixes with dirt, body oils and sunlight, it can start to wear down and develop the patina.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    You can embroider on leather, but it will be more difficult than embroidering on a softer fabric. Pre-poking holes in the leather before embroidering with thread will make the whole process easier. Plus, embroidering leather by hand is actually considered easier than using a machine is.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Epi leather was one of the first leather lines created by Louis Vuitton.
