Living room chair structure

Jan 10, 2021

From the living room chair legs that cross on both sides of the living room chair, turn to the front of the living room chair to cross. This is to emphasize the crossed "X" structure and show the symbol of power. The best example is the seat of King Dagobert I of theFranconians. Before the Renaissance, the typology of folding chairs appeared. We discovered that the 16th century Sediadellaforbice chair (scissors chair) inherited the characteristics of the Faldistorium. But there are two main differences:

The ‘chair of petrarca’ and the ‘sediaatenaglia’ inherited the ‘Savonarola’ and the ‘dantesca’, and their legs crossed back to the sides of the living room chair.

In the Baroque period, the living room chair with crossed legs could not be folded. Especially in the period from Louis XIV to Louis XVI, the'X' structure was a symbol of exclusion. Napoleon’s battlefield seat "Fauteuil" is etymologically derived from Old French "Faldestoel", and its roots are from the Latin "Faldistorium".
