Handsome and commanding, the wingback chair is no delicate creature. Designers Michelle Nussbaumer and Philip Nimmo cozy up to new versions of this classic form, ideal for today. MN: This has a clubby elegance. While it's a fairly classic wing chair, it's been given some modern twists, like the squared-off wings. It has a good scale, and it's sculptural. I would use it for younger clients. PN: The shiny silver nailheads and the intense blue of the velvet give this a glam quality. It's got some nice geometry to it and a beautiful profile. 32" w. x 37" d. x 45" h.; PN: A lovely design that feels sort of 1960s French. I like how they relieved the harshness of the metal with leather over the arms. And while it's not intended for outdoors, it would be terrific on a porch. MN: If Hermès met Brown Jordan, this would be their baby. The open silhouette is striking, and the leather is good and thick. It could even make a great desk chair.24" w. x 25.5" d. x 46" h.; MN: It seems modern, yet it has a slipcover.
Slipcovers are great for people with children or dogs, and there's something about a wing chair that personifies a person with dogs. Everyone will like this chair. PN: It's a comfortable and effortless chair that would be great in a country home or beach house. It's not threatening, and it is well made and can go almost anywhere.31.5" w. x 34" d. x 37" h.; Geometric cut outs in the arms create an interesting silhouette. The metal base gives it a contemporary look—especially paired with that red. PN: I love this little guy. It's small for a wingback, but I'm six foot one and find it surprisingly comfortable. It could get lost in a large room, but it would make a great dressing-table chair or bathroom chair. The leather will age beautifully. MN: With its cutout arms, inset cushion, and turned-out legs, it reminds me of a 1940s Maxime Old design. It's perfectly sized for a New York apartment and would work well in a pair.23" w. x 29" d. x 35" h.; MN: This one has so much pow, you know?
It's curvaceous and commanding. Definitely a stand-alone—if you had a pair, it would lose its impact. PN: This is probably my favorite. It's almost a piece of sculpture. And I like the scale and the buttoning. It's also truly transitional—you could easily incorporate it into a room filled with period pieces or more contemporary ones. MN: And I love the red!29" w. x 30" d. x 44" h.; PN: This is a well-executed midcentury Scandinavian-style wing chair. It's handsome from every angle, and the framework and detail work are beautiful. MN: Yes, it's very pretty, and I love the framework of the back. Plus, the price is reasonable. If you cover this in a Josef Frank fabric or a gorgeous mohair, it's going to look like something really special. This would add a wow moment to a room.32.5" w. x 35.5" d. x 41" h.; The unexpected addition of casual, familiar Windsor-style legs makes this chair easy to introduce in a country house or other informal, traditional space.
PN: What a nice design for an introductory piece. With its clean lines and low profile, it's like the wingback brother of a slipper chair. It's well scaled and versatile. You could easily throw a slipcover on it, too. MN: It doesn't have the dramatic impact of some of the others, but for the price, you can't go wrong. The fabric is velour polyester, yet it's surprisingly soft. 30" w. x 34" d. x 35" h.; PN: A great-looking chair. I see it in a minimal, white space. It's a splurge, but the craftsmanship is sublime. And the fact that it swivels—that's sweet. MN: Its back is as pretty as its front, and I like the combination of gray oak and leather. My younger clients look for pieces that are going to be important someday, and I think this could be one.42" w. x 33" d. x 41.5" h.; MN: Leather treated to look old can be corny, but they pulled it off. I think it's fun in this taxicab yellow. It's very traditional, so I would take it even further, in an English mod direction, with a steel dining table, crazy wall paper, and modern fixtures.
I'd put one at the end of a chrome-and-glass dining table, or with a geometric carpet. They're already hipping it up a bit with the color, so let's hip it up some more.31" w. x 31" d. x 44" h.; The Felix chair's generous scale makes it the ultimate chair to curl up in at the end of a long day. The swivel feature adds versatility, letting you turn to interact with different parts of the room. MN: This has a sort of modern English vibe. It's got tradition mixed with sexy lines. I'd use a pair at opposite ends of a dining table. The four casters would let you easily pull it in and out. For me, it's the most comfortable of all the chairs. PN: It's handsome but feminine, so you could use it in a bedroom. You can see its quality in the integration of the rolled arms and the extended back. I'd love it in a bold stripe.30.5" w. x 27" d. x 43" h.; ArmchairsSit back and relax into our sumptuously styled range of armchairs and lounge chairs.
