The New Wing Chair - First appearing in the late 17th century, wing chairs were originally designed to provide comfortable protection from drafts. In many families the wing chair is also affectionally known as "grandpa's chair." But now this classic chair is back in again and more stylish than ever. The February issue of House Beautiful has a whole feature on these new, hip interpretations of this classic creation. Below are some of my own nominations that weren't featured on their list.
