A love seat, sometimes spelled "loveseat," traditionally means a small sofa or couch. The term most likely derives from the fact that its diminutive size can only allow a maximum of two people to comfortably sit together at a given time.
Popular culture would have us believe that the love seat originated as a very wide chair. This wide chair came about as an answer to the pressing need of women in previous centuries to be able to sit down while attired in the voluminous fashions of their day. As use of crinolines and petticoats declined, people began to notice the extra space in their chairs. And thus, thelove seat was born.in other words a seat in the shape of an S for two people, designed so that they can face each other.
