Today's post is brought to you by Design Shuffle who speak with us about the ever popular slipper chair. Take it away Design Shuffle...

Slipper chairs are any armless chair that sits lower to the ground than a typical chair. They have been around for centuries but were revived during the mid-twentieth century by the modern style. Originally designed for the dressing room, to help ladies easily bend and put on their footwear, today they are now found from the living room to the bathroom.

Slipper chairs work well in small spaces as they take up less visual space than an armchair or club chair. Clean lines mean they fit well with most design styles depending on upholstery and legs—pair with a side table and table lamp or by itself.

Here's a list of eight top selling slipper chair styles.
