US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice knows how to spend time with VIPs such as Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Moratinos: she does so in the comfort of a wingback chair.
Wingback, or wing chairs, are high-backed, upholstered easy chairs whose panels, or "wings," project forward from the sides of the back and curve downward to meet the roll arms. Originally, the wings were designed to block drafts in old homes, and to protect ladies' skin from a fireplace's heat.

Things I love about the Jardin Chair ($799): It's made from sustainably harvested wood and uses plant-based eco foam. It's roomy enough for two. Its armless silhouette and wing back will make it a versatile addition to most any room.

Made of memory foam and the biggest single piece of bentwood ever used to create a chair, the first and only chair ever to be certified by the Space Foundation, tested and recognized by NASA, the Zero Gravity Wing Chair ($14,400) is a cross between an Eames Lounge and Ottoman and a classic wing chair. Do you love it . .
