The term chiffonier, also chiffonnier, may refer to one of at least two types of furniture. Its name comes directly from a French piece of furniture, the chiffonier. The French name, which comes from the French , "rag-picker", suggests that the item of furniture was originally intended as a receptacle for odds and ends which had no place elsewhere.
