Wingback chairs have always fascinated me. They provide such a statement in a room, and often "create rooms". Not so much anymore for traditional men's smoking lounges, I love to use wingback chairs in hotel lobbies whenever possible. Some of these ones with a modern twist are my favorite.

History
From the Designboom website, this is apparently the origins and original purpose of the wingback chair..."the wingback chair is a chair, which is usually fully upholstered, with wings rising up from the arm and joining the back at a 90-degree or wider angle.the original purpose for the wings were assumed to be to prevent drafts in old houses from reaching the upper body or to protect the delicate skin of gentrified ladies from the heat of a roaring fireplace."
