Tete-A-tete comes from the French tête à tête, which translates to "head to head". The French phrase tête à tête refers to both an intimately private conversation between two persons and the S-shaped sofa on which they sit. Nicknamed the "kissing couch," it consists of two interconnected chairs facing opposite directions. For added versatility, many can be used as a chaise lounge or separated into two individual chairs.
Below, we've rounded up eleven of the most stylish tete-a-tete chairs to share a private conversation. Complete with luxurious velvet upholstery, button-tufting, and gleaming metal accents, they look stunning in any sitting room, walk-in closet, or informal dining area. Just be sure to measure your space before you make a purchase.
