The chaise longue is a classic item of French furniture that has survived the evolution of interior design and never waned in popularity. Perhaps coveted for its unusual shape and styling, or for its historic connections with the aristocracy and royalty of yesteryear, the chaise longue is French furniture design at its most elegant. It has spanned a myriad of cultures and eras since its inception, featuring in the homes of Ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt and Ancient Africa. It is perhaps most associated with the French King Louis XV, during whose reign the current style of the chaise longue started to appear.
One of the reasons the chaise longue has long held its place at the top of the list for the most favoured French furniture item is due to its incredible versatility. It can be used as a stunning addition to any room in the house. In fact, you don't even need to limit its use to indoors; the modern deck-chair itself originates from the chaise longue and is simply an adapted version constructed to withstand the elements. The term 'chaise longue' translates simply to 'long chair' and these items have been used throughout history for eating, relaxing, taking afternoon naps and as a symbol of high status in society.

Over time, the chaise longue has become much more financially accessible to regular households, as manufacturing processes and a wider variety of materials have made them cheaper to produce. Originally, the arms of these French furniture items were bent and shaped by hand and were constructed of expensive, rare woods. In moving with the times, the selection of materials used in their creation has become much more expansive; tubular steel, plastics and cheaper woods are now often used, with coverings made of leather, suede and many other fabrics. This has opened up their appeal and allowed for more choice; you can find a design to suit any room in your home, whether you want to adorn your bedroom, living room or conservatory with this functional and elegant piece of French furniture. If you want to splash out on something a little more indulgent, you could look for a genuine antique or maybe a Baroque or Rococo reproduction.
So if you're looking for a multipurpose, beautiful item of French furniture that is comfortable, useful and unique, a chaise longue could be exactly what you need. Take time to look around at the different styles and colours available - then when you've made your purchase, give it pride of place in your chosen room, put your feet up and congratulate yourself on owning a wonderful piece of classic French style furniture.
