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 The Couch
- How can I identify my couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify your couch, look for the maker's markings. Manufacturers choose different places for markings. Some will sew a label onto a cushion or mark one of the legs. Others place their markings on the underside of the frame, so it may be necessary to turn your couch onto its side to locate the marking. Once you've found it, you can search trusted online resources to find out who made your couch and then review information about that particular manufacturer to learn more about your piece's age, style and other characteristics. If you'd like assistance with the process, use the services of a knowledgeable antique dealer or certified appraiser. Explore a wide range of antique, vintage and contemporary couches on 1stDibs.

- What is a cloud couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021The terms “cloud couch” or “cloud sofa” may refer to two specific designs — Restoration Hardware‘s Cloud Sofa is a plush white sofa with no hard edges and an oversized seat upholstered with goose-down stuffing. The other design known by this name is Adrian Pearsall’s low-profile Cloud sofa, one of the contributions to mid-century modern furniture design for which Pearsall is recognized today and among the initial concepts for Craft Associates, the now-legendary furniture company he founded.

- What is a chaise on a couch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A chaise is different from a couch or sofa.

- Is a leather couch worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024Many furniture lovers and interior designers believe a leather couch is worth it.
