Все диванчики "love seat" имеют один общий признак - это сиденья для двоих, и название это употребляется в основном, в англоязычных странах.
Четкой и определенной формы эти диванчики не имеют, делали их и в форме соединенных двух стульев, стоящих рядом (в "тет-а-тет" напротив), потом только на обивке спинки сохранилось по два медальона. Делали и делают их и в форме козеток, и в форме маленьких диванчиков "канапе". Канапе, в отличие от "love seat" - может быть рассчитан и на троих сидящих. А в современных мебельных каталогах часто так обозначают все двухместные диваны для гостиной.
"Тет-а-тет"
В мебели "тет-а-тет" сидящие расположены лицом друг к другу, а подлокотники или спинки чаще всего имеют форму буквы "S":

"Трехглавые"
Иногда пропорции диванчиков могут ввести в заблуждение - сиденье кажется слишком длинным, трехместным. Но не надо забывать, что многие из них делались в расчете на женские платья с кринолинами, которые были в моде почти весь 19 век, лишь в 70-х годах их сменили турнюры - но и они занимали много места.
