Wing Chair for Cozy Den

Celine Tufted Wing Chair by Celerie Kemble for Laneventure,  $2211.

Wing chairs were originally designed to protect the delicate skin of gentrified ladies against the cold drafts of Northern castles. The "wings" trap the heat from the fireplace, thus these chairs have been traditionally positioned around the hearth. I think a pair of them would look great in any room with a central fireplace. This one is velvet and button-tufted... it's both clubbish and cozy--great with a matching ottoman, too!
