Banquette Seating, The New Dining Chair

I think I lived in 17th century Paris in another life, That or a 1950's diner. What I would call a high-back upholstered bench, the Banquette is definitely enjoying a revival in modern day dining rooms. I love the look of mix and match furniture, and this makes any dining room instantly cozy. These images make me want to scour a flea market, reupholster my find, and a have a nice meal.
