My 10 Most Winning Wing Chairs

<p align="justify">Traditionally a <b>wing back chair</b> was an upholstered easy chair with large "wings" mounted to the armrests and enclosing the head or torso areas of the body. Such wing back chairs were originally designed to provide comfortable protection from drafts, and particularly to trap the heat from a fireplace in the area where the person would be sitting. Hence, they were most often used near a fireplace in historic times. So the wing back chair started out to function in rooms that were not centrally heated. We have come a long way since then and the wing back chair has morphed to fit the times and the style of the rooms we live in. </p> <p align="center"><font size="3">Please leave a comment at the end of this article and let me know which is your favourite wing back chair.</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS0Bd-oHy2PJ7un7U55Rif1CIGSSVFL5A6mrze8JL7Z3V3tClZLtk5JTRwv7RxzNf3ABD4q5pjYbUCOa0fbzlHD2U5rdOmQTdL5YKg4Y2wfNyGxdU7QMQaoFHOwwnGT1ipEfIpSo9t9g2_/s1600-h/image1%5B6%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRtvRWqKSs1bwhUFqR42LGnbU5tz7v49j8f1k95sqIJ30-eT3MxeihDfuUHtatVkTZq9DieguPoI8gMnC5sFPDHb5iW0AUH70jwTEbqow3cBRPkIHBkNlt_PREtQV3DyAIdpdbWSpwSE0h/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px;

It was an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and extravagant materials, such as marble and travertine.</p> <p>The building stood on a large podium alongside a pool. The structure itself consisted of eight steel posts supporting a flat roof, with curtain glass walling and a handful of partition walls. The overall impression is of perpendicular planes in three dimensions forming a cool, luxurious space.</p> <p>Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_chair">Barcelona chair</a> for the Barcelona Pavilion, hence the name for the chair.

Abstract Art - Go Big or Go Home

Knackstedt</span></a><em><span style="font-size: 78%"> </span></em></p> <p align="justify">In the past year (2008) I have noticed a proliferation of large scale abstract art being used in living rooms and dining rooms. The effect is bold and dramatic and creates a strong focal point in a room. Most of the rooms shown in the pictures below are large in scale architecturally and benefit from a strong focal point. Over scale in size shows abstract art to it's very best. Abstract art is non-representational and lets an eclectic array of furnishings and accessories stand on their own merits as works of art. Abstract art is beautiful and organic in nature......
