WINGBACK ARMCHAIR COLLECTION
It all dates back to the 1600s Britain, where this chair style was first invented. Lacking weatherstripping, caulk and triple-glazed windows, houses and buildings of the time were drafty affairs. The wingback chair was designed to be sat in front of the fireplaces, while the wings on the side prevented drafts from slicing through your little cocoon of warmth.

The chair was originally a full wooden design, with a cushion on the seated area. It was later upholstered, but with minimal padding and towards the early 19th century, leather and studying became a fashionable choice.
