It highlights the region’s connections with the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, China, and Europe. Most furniture-related terminology is borrowed from these areas, with only a few terms tracing their origins to the Austronesian language family. The concept of “furniture” in precolonial Southeast Asia, however, is a complex one, often overlapping with tools, conveyances, and architectural elements. Lexical data, in fact, reveal insightful semantic shifts, such as from utensils to furniture or from furniture to transportation. Understanding these complexities in furniture terminology offers insights into the transregional linkages that shaped Southeast Asia’s material culture, while also shedding light on the cultural exchanges within the region. Cet article propose une perspective linguistique sur l’histoire du mobilier en Asie du Sud-Est maritime, tout en établissant des comparaisons avec l’Asie du Sud-Est continentale. Il met en lumière les liens de la région avec le sous-continent indien, le Moyen-Orient, la Chine et l’Europe. La plupart des termes relatifs au mobilier sont empruntés à ces régions, seuls quelques-uns trouvant leur origine dans la famille des langues austronésiennes. Le concept de « mobilier » en Asie du Sud-Est précoloniale est cependant complexe, se confondant souvent avec les outils, les moyens de transport et les éléments architecturaux. Les données lexicales révèlent en effet des glissements sémantiques significatifs, comme le passage des ustensiles au mobilier ou du mobilier aux moyens de transport. Comprendre ces complexités terminologiques du mobilier permet de mieux appréhender les liens transrégionaux qui ont façonné la culture matérielle de l’Asie du Sud-Est, tout en éclairant les échanges culturels au sein de la région.
