A tête-à-tête is a type of small, intimate seating arrangement designed for two people. It typically features two seats that are connected or positioned close together, allowing for private conversation. The design is often curved or angled, with a central divider or backrest between the seats, offering a sense of closeness while maintaining individual space. Tête-à-têtes are often used in formal settings, such as parlors or drawing rooms, and are upholstered in luxurious fabrics, adding elegance and comfort to the room. They are ideal for creating a cozy, conversational atmosphere.
