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 Sofa For Sleeping
- What is a sleep earring?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023A sleep earring is a small hoop earring. The term comes from the fact that their small size leads some people to sleep while wearing the earrings. However, you may still want to remove your sleep earrings before bed to prevent them from getting caught on anything during the night. Some people refer to sleep earrings as sleeper or sleeper-style earrings. Explore a large collection of hoop earrings on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023Whether you can sleep on a chaise lounge is actually a matter of personal preference. A chaise elevates your legs, but your upper body remains in an upright seated position. Some chaise lounges do recline, but most don't fold flat for sleeping. As a result, you can sleep on one if you don't mind not being completely flat on your back while you slumber. Find an assortment of chaise lounges on 1stDibs.

On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of hoop earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Whether you can sleep with gold hoop earrings on largely depends on personal preference and the size of the earrings. Smaller huggies and sleeper-style hoops may not get in the way of sleep. However, larger styles are more likely to get caught on your pillow, bedding, hair or clothing during the night. Generally, it's a good idea to remove your earrings before going to bed. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of hoop earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, Sleeping Beauty turquoise has not been mined since 2012. The end of active mining for this Arizona specialty has only increased the demand by collectors.

Sheraton style grew in popularity in the late 18th century and remains to be a home-décor favorite for its classic style. Shop a selection of authentic Sheraton pieces on 1stDibs.
- What is a chaise on a sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A chaise, also known as a chaise longue (or, as it is sometimes spelled in the United States, a “chaise lounge”), is a long, upholstered sofa in the shape of a chair that can be used to prop one's legs upon. The name "chaise" refers to any long, reclining chair in modern French interior design, and the English translation is "long chair."
- What is a studio sofa?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021A studio sofa is similar to a futon in that it’s multifunctional. Studio sofas can be converted into a double bed by flattening out the frame.
- What is a sofa plinth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A sofa plinth is a low base or pedestal that a sofa rests on. It borrows its name from a platform used to support an arch in classical architecture. People also call statue bases plinths. On 1stDibs, find a range of antique and vintage sofas.

- What is an Empire sofa?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The Empire movement in design started in the 19th century and is characterized by straight lines in rigid symmetrical compositions.

Shop a collection of Empire sofas from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022An Empire sofa is a type of sofa associated with the Empire style of art and architecture that came out of early 19th-century France. The designs of furniture in the Empire style were actually quite varied depending on the region which interpreted the design principles. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique Empire style sofas from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The most comfortable sofa is a personal choice and will depend upon the sofa seat’s depth and height, filling and upholstery, back height and the back-pitch angle to recline or not to recline. Sofas that originated in countries such as France during the 17th century were more integral to decor than they were to comfort. Today, options abound when it comes to style, material and comfort. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, vintage and modern sofas.
