A club chair is a type of armchair, usually covered in leather. It was created and manufactured in France and was first known as a comfortable fauteuil, the “comfortable armchair”. It was given this name to distinguish it from the fauteuil de style, which had straighter lines and was less enveloping. The origin of the term “club” is not clear, but it may be a reference to the men's club.
Side chairs are designed for the empty space next to the sofa and can also be used in pairs on the opposite side of a couch or sectional. Auxiliary chairs come in a wide variety of styles, so you can easily find one that best suits your space. Slipper chairs, for example, are types of side chairs that sit closer to the floor and have a long, padded seat. If you want the look of a slipper chair but with a smaller profile, choose a Parsons chair, which is narrower and has a high backrest. This makes it easy to fit between a sofa and a two-seater sofa. The Parsons chair is also a versatile lounge chair that fits on the dining table for more seating in case of need.
