Furniture Friday: The Wing Chair
{photo from here}
According to Wikipedia, the Wing Chair is “an upholstered easy chair with large ‘wings’ mounted to the armrests and enclosing the head or torso areas of the body.” Got the visual yet? Typically, when I think of a wing chair two things come to mind: navy and stodgy. What I love about this room designed by Betsy Burnham, is that she made such an unpredictable seating arrangement around a seemingly predictable chair (albeit in orange).
Here are a few of my favorite wing chairs…
