"Divan"

A "divan" is a type of comfortable, upholstered seating piece, often without a back or arms, traditionally used as a sofa or lounge. Originating from Middle Eastern and Ottoman furniture, it serves as a versatile piece suitable for sitting, relaxing, or even sleeping. Modern divans can resemble low-profile couches or daybeds, and they are often used in living rooms or lounges for both daily comfort and decorative appeal. The term can also refer to a formal council or panel in certain contexts, but in furniture, it generally describes a stylish, functional seating piece.
