The history of the sofa through the centuries
The ancestors of the 3-seater sofa from the time of Ancient Greece can be found in the form of a bed, which can also be compared to daybeds. In ancient times, this divan was used by men to dine, and they lay on it. It was then the precursor to daybeds. At that time, it was made of marble, silver wood and even metal. The feet were carved.
We find bronze sculptures of animals. Comfort is already there thanks to padding placed on the seat. It is called the Kliné which is none other than the ancestor of the meridian. Gradually, the sofa takes on volumes and becomes more comfortable. We find sculpted ornaments and rounded feet reminiscent of feminine forms. They are then dressed with luxurious fabrics. Under Louis XV, the baroque style appears.
The beginning of Baroque art to the present day
Originally, the word baroque comes from barroco which means pearl with irregular contours in Portuguese. It was used between the 16th and 17th centuries during the Renaissance and classicism. This word then became common especially when talking about furniture. It was used to designate a style. At that time, many artists were inspired by the rococo style to create elements with multiple irregularities.
It was in 1580 that the style became an important movement in Italy. The armchairs were pot-bellied. We also find chests of drawers of the same design. Late Baroque and Rococo made their appearance.
The most elegant baroque furniture is made for the court of Louis XIV, Charles Boulle is at the origin of furniture with unusual shapes. It is then common to find on certain pieces of furniture such as baroque sofas, inlays of metals such as pewter, bronze or silver. For the most beautiful furniture, tortoiseshell or ebony is also used. Blue velvet or red velvet fabrics are then used.
The sculptures are composed of classical motifs or recall Roman frescoes. As the years go by, Rococo infiltrates everywhere. It can be found in music, architecture, sculpture, pictorial art and furniture. This movement is very popular until around 1730.
The church adopted this style and made it even more fashionable. It can be found in sacred furniture. Nowadays, Baroque art is mainly present in the history of furniture. We thus find the sofa in the Rococo style in our time, reminiscent of the 17th century but more refined.
This stylish seat is less ostentatious, more discreet than before, but it retains a flared base and warm colors. The baroque sofa goes very well with other objects and furniture with a contemporary design.
The Baroque style continues to inspire the design of our living rooms, with seats combining the past and today's design.
After five centuries of history, Baroque art has endured to leave behind true contemporary masterpieces today. Great contemporary designers such as Philippe Starck and Marcel Wanders draw a lot of inspiration from it for their various creations.
This antique furniture style thus goes against the grain of minimalism and thus becomes almost unavoidable. Many of these great artists work with upholstery, gilding, and chiseled wood. We can thus find baroque furniture such as armchairs, frames but also chairs and sofas.
In many series we can see this style of furniture. Especially in television series in the style of casa padrino baroque (baroque godfather's house). These pieces of furniture are very popular with decorators because they are very ostentatious.
