Confidante
A confidante (also known as a ''canapé à joue'', a ''canapé à confidants'', or a ''canapé à confidant(e)'') is a type of sofa, originally characterized by a triangular seat at each end, so that people could sit at either end of the sofa and be close to the person(s) sitting in the middle. The ends were sometimes detachable, and could be removed and used on their own as Burjair chairs. The name ''Confidante'' was coined by cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite, who described it in his ''Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide'' as being "of French origin, and is in pretty general request for large and spacious suits of apartments. An elegant drawing-room, with modern furniture, is scarce complete without a Confidante, […]".
