Love: Tete a Tete Seating

Typically defined as a private conversation between two people, "tete a tete" in our world means a piece of furniture that allows two people to face each other. Victorian iterations were usually wildly carved and overblown, so their demise coincided with the Arts and Crafts backlash. The Art Deco period saw a bit of resurgence, but the chaise won out for popularity. Currently, there are several vendors that are making forays in this direction using clean lines...these pieces are great to link two seating groupings in a long room. While the choices are still slim, you can always use two chairs facing opposite each other....

From Cox Mfg, super comfy and traditional...
