Couch Types And You — Locating Your Most Comfortable Seat
The Knole, the Chesterfield, and even the chaise longue are undisputably three settee style greats that, in spite of centuries of new development since their creation, have become massively popular with settee aficionados and the starting point for a range of modernized variants.
Had you not heard of the Knole? It’s named after a one of a kind settee which comes from Sevenoaks’ Knole House, the domicile of the Sackvilles. Notable features include high sidepieces, an upright back piece in addition to drop down sides which would be held together with braid ties. The Knole has an aspect of fragility, forming an illusion that the couch is likely to collapse.
These drop down sides were designed with a helpful role — by lowering them it is possible to make a bed — which is to say, this was the initial intention, however, you won’t often see this done anymore.
On the other hand, a chaise longue may be considered a cross between a sofa and a bed, essentially a simple recliner defined by a canted back & leg support and armrests. Adaptations of the chaise longue draw their roots from Roman, Egyptian and South American civilizations, and also Chinese design.
The model we usually visualize originated in Louis XV’s time, which used mahogany, rich fabrics and gilt to create the appearance of genuine extravagance. Today the Corbusier Chaise Longue is effortlessly stylish, constructed in the Roaring Twenties and made of tubular stainless steel and leather.
By contrast, the Chesterfield elicits the feel of stately homes, libraries or clubs, setting the tone for rest — and getting better and better as the leather ages.
It is known for its stylishness and sense of sophistication. Tradition informs us that the name comes from Phillip, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). He perhaps purchased the original Chesterfield, connecting himself to the famous couch through the centuries. Indeed, And thus it happens that, the Earl of Chesterfield leaves us a tradition of happiness.
