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 Outdoor Wood Chaise
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    The best outdoor chaise longue is a matter of choice. In the late 1700s, the first chaise longues were imported to America, and English speakers have struggled with the name ever since. (In the United States, the term is frequently spelled “chaise lounge.”) When selecting the best chaise longue, bear in mind that this seating furniture requires more square footage than a bench or other outdoor furniture. As a result, it is critical to ensure that you have adequate space to position the chaise longue. Shop a collection of antique, vintage, and contemporary outdoor chaise longues from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    The best wood for outdoor furniture is a matter of preference. Teak, cypress, white oak and cedar are said to be among the most popular materials for outdoor furniture. Hardwoods are typically stronger and denser than their softwood counterparts when it comes to choosing the best tables and chairs for your patio and garden. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage wooden outdoor furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024
    Whether you should use teak wood oil on outdoor furniture depends on the piece and the product. The formulation of most teak wood oil is intended for indoor use, and these products generally shouldn't be applied to outdoor furniture. You should read the care instructions on your furniture and the directions for use on the teak oil for specific advice. Explore a wide variety of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
