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 Adjustable Height Chair
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not drafting tables are adjustable for height depends on their design. Standard tables feature fixed tops. Height adjustability is an extra feature added to some models to improve utility. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of drafting tables.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    The standard height of a chair depends on its type. Generally, experts discuss the seat height of chairs as opposed to their overall height, as the height of the seat determines how well it performs its primary function of providing comfortable seating. The average seat height is 18 to 20 inches, and 16 to 21 inches for office chairs. Most accent chairs have seat heights of around 16 inches. Shop a wide variety of chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    A seat height of 16 to 21 inches off the floor is considered to be a suitable height. With the height of the workstation, the users can have their feet leveled to the floor. Find vintage chairs to cater to different purposes on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    The height of a Vitra Standard chair is around 32.25 inches from the bottom of the legs to the top of the chair back. Its seat height is approximately 18.25 inches tall. Jean Prouvé originally designed the chair in 1934. Since then, the dining chair has evolved into one of the most famous classics of the French “constructeur.” The seat and backrest of this understated, iconic piece are available in various types of wood, and the metal frame comes in different colors. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Vitra Standard chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    A good height for an accent chair is usually around 35 inches overall, with a seat height of 16 inches. However, you should consider the scale of the rest of your furniture when selecting chairs. Generally, the seat on your accent chair should be no more than 4 inches higher or lower than the seats on adjacent pieces like sofas and loveseats. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of accent chairs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    How to adjust a Herman Miller chair depends on the model. Over the years, the company's furniture has employed many different mechanisms. Current styles of their well-known Aeron chair have a lever on the right for adjusting the seat height and one on the left that controls the seat tilt. A separate lever allows you to raise and lower the arms. You'll find a collection of Herman Miller chairs on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    A good seat height for an accent chair is around 16 inches. However, you should also consider the height of the other seating furniture, like a sofa or a loveseat, in your space. Generally, an accent chair's seat should be no more than 4 inches higher or lower than the seats on adjacent furniture to maintain a balanced look and allow for easy conversation in seating areas. On 1stDibs, explore a wide variety of accent chairs.
