Wingback Chair: The One by the Fireplace

A wingback armchair placed by a fireplace. The backrest is high, with wing-shaped panels protruding forward on both sides, originally designed to block drafts from the sides, enveloping the sitter in the warmth of the fireplace. The transition between the backrest and the wings is a soft curve, upholstered in printed cotton or plain wool. The armrests are low and roll outwards, with brass decorative studs at the front. The legs are dark wooden turned legs, the front two slightly curved. The chair is angled slightly towards the fireplace rather than directly facing it, with a low footstool in front. A needlepoint cushion and a draped blanket are on the chair. Beside it is a small side table and a table lamp with a fabric shade. Avoid: making the backrest low, eliminating the wing-shaped panels on the sides, using modern minimalist contours, having the chair face the viewer directly making it appear stiff.

一張翼背扶手椅放在壁爐旁。椅背很高,兩側向前突出成翼狀的護板,原本的功能是擋住從側面來的風,讓坐著的人被包在暖爐的熱裡。椅背與翼的轉折是柔和的曲線,包覆著印花棉布或素面羊毛。扶手低而向外捲,前端有黃銅的裝飾釘。椅腳是深色的木製轉腳,前方兩支略帶弧度。椅子略微側向壁爐而不是正對,前方有一張矮腳凳。椅上放著一個針繡靠墊與一條搭著的毯子。旁邊是一張小几與一盞包布燈罩的桌燈。避免:把椅背做得低矮、消除兩側的翼狀護板、使用現代的簡潔輪廓、讓椅子正對畫面顯得呆板。
