A wingback chair is a type of upholstered armchair characterized by its high back and "wings" that extend from the backrest to the armrests. These wings were originally designed to provide comfort and warmth by shielding the sitter from drafts. The chair often features a sturdy wooden frame and can be found in various styles, from traditional to modern. Typically used in living rooms, studies, or reading nooks, wingback chairs are both functional and decorative. They come in a variety of fabrics and colors, allowing them to complement different interior designs. Their classic silhouette makes them a popular choice for both contemporary and vintage decor.
