Louis Seize, also known as Louis XVI, is one of the most notable and widely emulated styles for both furniture and interior design.
This new style emerged in France during the reign of King Louis-Auguste (1774-1793). The style was inspired by the 18th century Baroque as it had a sturdier look and included more geometric shapes in its decoration. Like its Baroque predecessor, it focused on straight lines and included motifs inspired by the classical age.
