Whether that’s the unique Favela chair by Brazilian sibling furniture designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, who repurpose everyday objects to artful effect or Marcel Breuer’s futuristic tubular metal Wassily lounge chair the functionality-first LC series from Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret or the Eames lounge chair of the mid-1950s created by Charles and Ray Eames, there is an iconic armchair for everyone and every purpose. If the fireside armchair chat involves spirited comparisons, your companions will likely probe the merits of antique and vintage armchairs such as Queen Anne armchairs, Victorian armchairs or even Louis XVI armchairs, as well as the pros and cons of restoration versus conservation.Įveryone seems to have a favorite armchair and most people will be all too willing to talk about their beloved design.

Maybe the dialogue is about the beloved Papa Bear chair, a mid-century modern masterpiece from Danish carpenter and furniture maker Hans Wegner, and the wingback’s strong association with the concept of cozying up by the fireplace, which we can trace back to its origins in 1600s-era England, when the seat’s distinctive arm protrusions protected the sitter from the heat of the period’s large fireplaces. If you’re in the mood for company, your velvet chesterfield armchair is a place to relax and be part of the conversation that swirls around you. When placed under just the right lamp where you can lounge comfortably, both elbows resting on the padded supports on each side of you, an upholstered armchair - or a rattan armchair for your light-suffused sunroom - can be the sanctuary where you’ll read for hours. Formal dining armchairs support your guests at a table for a cheery feast, a good drafting chair with a deep seat is parked in front of an easel where you create art and, elsewhere, an ergonomic wonder of sorts positions you at the desk for your 9 to 5. Modern-day armchairs, built with functionality and comfort in mind, are now central to tasks throughout your home. But the high-backed early thrones of yore, elevated and ornate, were merely grandiose iterations of today’s armchairs. In ancient Egypt, the commoners took stools, while in early Greece, ceremonial chairs of carved marble were designated for nobility. Long before industrial mass production democratized seating, armchairs conveyed status and power. Armchairs have run the gamut from prestige to ease and everything in between.
