There’s something elegant and romantic about the name “slipper chair.” It conjures up images of Victorian women in dainty satin shoes, which is precisely how earned its name. In the early 18th century, the slipper chair was frequently found in women’s bedrooms, and was used when the maid helped the woman of the house put on her shoes while wearing her large skirts. But by the 1950s, the slipper chair had broken out of the bedroom, and it currently frequents living and dining areas as well.
This desk space uses a slipper chair for a cozy and comfortable place to work during the holidays.
