When was the sofa invented? I know they’ve been around forever, but I’m curious about the history behind it.
The term "sofa" can be traced back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BC, originating from the Arabic word "suffah," which means "long bench."
These early sofas were designed for the upper class and were typically not very comfortable.
In the 17th century, France introduced the chaise longue, a long cushioned seat specifically designed for reclining, marking the beginning of the concept of the sofa.
By the 18th century, iconic designs such as Chesterfield emerged, and the sofa gradually evolved into a standard, comfortable piece of furniture.
